Some petroleum fuels such as Bunker C or heavy diesel contain significant amounts of sulphidic compounds and some natural fuel gases are known as sour when they contain hydrogen sulfide. In both of these cases when the fuels are burned they will produce sulphur dioxide.

In automotive diesel there is a small amount of sulphur. This, because of the combustion conditions, is not released as sulpur dioxide, but as solid sulfate particulate.

Fuels which contain no sulphur (refined and treaterd by sulphur removal) do not give off sulphur dioxide.

What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a harmful gas produced by coal-burning power plants that can contribute to air pollution, acid rain, and respiratory issues in humans. It is released when coal containing sulfur is burned.


What name is given to a solution of sulfur dioxide in rainwater?

The name given to a solution of sulfur dioxide in rainwater is acid rain. This occurs when sulfur dioxide, released from burning fossil fuels, reacts with rainwater to form sulfuric acid, which can have harmful effects on the environment and human health.


What name is given to a solution of sulfur dioxide in rain water?

The name given to a solution of sulfur dioxide in rainwater is acid rain. This occurs when sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in rainwater, forming sulfuric acid, which can have harmful effects on the environment.


What chemical is given off in a burning flame?

The chemical given off in a burning flame is carbon dioxide (CO2) along with water vapor (H2O). Additionally, the color of the flame can be influenced by different chemicals present in the material being burned, such as sodium (yellow), copper (blue-green), or strontium (red).


How many atoms are in 37.14 grams of sulfur dioxide?

Sulfur has relative atomic mass of 32 and oxygen have that of 16. The molar mass of sulfur dioxide is 64 grams per mole. Therefore there is approximately 0.58 moles (37.14/64) of sulfur dioxide in given weight.

How do the rates of diffusion of helium and sulfur dioxide compare Molar masses Helium is 4 g mol and sulfur dioxide is 64 g mol?

Helium will diffuse faster than sulfur dioxide. This is because helium is lighter than sulfur dioxide, so it will move faster through a given medium due to its lower molar mass and therefore higher average speed of molecules.
