What is acid rain and its causes?
Causes of acid rain are as follows- 1. Sulphur Dioxide 2. Carbon dioxide 3. Smoke
What is the substance that causes the acid rain?
Sulphur , in a form of sulphur dioxide or sulphur oxide , I think. Acid rain can be caused by either nitric oxide or sulfur dioxide in the air, which result from the burning of fossil fuels.
What are two disadvantages of coal as a fuel?
it hurts the environment by realising carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ash etc.
What is sulphur precipitator?
A sulphur precipitator is a device used to remove sulphur dioxide from industrial exhaust gases. By passing the gases through the precipitator, sulphur dioxide is converted into a solid particulate form that can be easily collected and disposed of. This helps reduce air pollution and its negative effects on the environment and human health.
Is sulphur dioxide a hydrocarbonprotienvitamen mineral or lipid?
It is a mineral. Sulphur dioxide certainly is not a lipid.
Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
Is sulphur dioxide an acid base or neutral?
Sulphur dioxide is an ACIDIC gas. When it is dissolved in water it form the acid ; SULPHUROUS ACID ( H2SO3). Note the spelling and the number of oxygen atoms in combination. NB The oxides of non-metallic elements on the right hand side of the Periodic Table all produce acids. e.g. Carbon Dioxide/Carbonic Acid . Nitrogen dioxide/Nitric Acid, Phosphorus oxides/phossphoric acid. etc., NNNB The metal oxides on the left hand side of the Periodic Table produce bases/alkalis.
Why is sulphur dioxide produced in petrol engines?
Sulphur dioxide is produced in petrol engines due to the combustion of sulphur-containing compounds present in the fuel. When these compounds are burned, they react with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide as a byproduct, which is then emitted through the exhaust. Reducing the sulphur content in petrol can help minimize the production of sulphur dioxide emissions.
What do you add to sulphur to make sulphur dioxide?
Oxygen!!! However, you do NOT add oxygen, it is combined. Yellow elemental sulphur is heated in a flow of oxygen gas. The product is sulphur dioxide. It has a very acrid/acidic smell, so do NOT breath it in. Sulphur dioxide can be dissolved in water to form Sulphurous Acid. The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur and oxygen is ; - S(s) + O2(g) == heat==> SO2(g) The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur dioxide and water is:- SO2(g) + H2O(l) == H2SO3(aq) NOTE this is sulphurOUS Acid. SulphurIC Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. one extra oxygen in combination.
Is sulphur dioxide an oxide that has a pungent choking smell?
Yes, sulphur dioxide is an oxide that has a pungent, choking smell. It is a colorless gas that is released during volcanic eruptions and burning fossil fuels, and is harmful to human health and the environment.
Does Venus have any atmosophere?
Yes, one that contains a lot of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide. This causes a greenhouse effect that makes Venus very very hot.
What do gas have?
sulphur dioxide
