Why do cars produce oxides of sulphur dioxide?
Cars produce oxides of sulfur dioxide when sulfur-containing fuels like diesel and petrol are burned in the engine. Sulfur in the fuel combines with oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide as a byproduct.
How much sulfur dioxide can be produced from 64kg of sulfur?
The molar mass of sulfur is 32 g/mol and the molar mass of sulfur dioxide is 64 g/mol. Thus, from 64 kg of sulfur, you can produce 1280 kg (1.28 metric tons) of sulfur dioxide using stoichiometry.
What equation shows the formations sulfur dioxide in a car engine?
The formation of sulfur dioxide in a car engine can be represented by the chemical equation: (S(s) + O_2(g) \rightarrow SO_2(g)). This equation shows the reaction of solid sulfur with oxygen gas to produce sulfur dioxide gas. In the context of a car engine, sulfur-containing compounds in the fuel can react with oxygen during combustion to form sulfur dioxide, which is a major contributor to air pollution.
What happens when sulfur burns to make sulfur Dioxide?
it mixes with clouds and creates acid rain
What compound do you get if you mix sulphur and oxygen?
Sulfur undergoes many reactions with oxygen, leading to the formation of sulfur oxides; these can have a variety of formulae. Sulfur + oxygen ---> sulfur DIoxide. This is the balanced equation of the above reaction: S + O2 ---> SO2
How can you reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide released?
Some types of coal contain sulphur, and when burned, release sulphur dioxide; this is the major source of sulphur dioxide emissions. There are ways to scrub pollutants out of the smoke emitted by coal-burning power plants, however, I personally think that it makes more sense to stop burning coal and switch to other methods of power generation.
Are coal power plants better than nuclear power plants?
They are more thermodynamically efficient because they produce higher quality steam. However they also produce a lot of carbon dioxide and other things like sulfur dioxide, that are undesirable, which nuclear plants don't produce. I don't think using the word 'better' can mean much, both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Name three pollutant gases?
The gases most folks think of as "pollution" are * sulfur dioxide * nitrogen oxides * hydrogen sulfide * PAHs * VOCs * ammonia * methane * carbon dioxide * cyclic aromatics * carbon monoxide * various mercaptans
Why is sulfur dioxide not called SO onstead of SO2 as both have same valency of 2?
Good question. Sulfur dioxide means there is 1 sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms, and is not giving any information about the valence or oxidation state. Think of this.... Carbon monoxide = CO and Carbon dioxide = CO2
What does sulfur dioxide mix with?
um.... when mixed with rain it makes acid rain i think well that's what i leant in my chemistry class.
What is the word equation for sulfur plus oxygen?
"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
Name of acid formed when sulfur oxides mixes with rainwater?
I think it is Nitrogen Oxide. The nitrous oxide condenses with the rain to give the nitric acid, sulfur dioxide condenses with the rain to give sulfuric acid, carbon dioxide combines with the rain to give carbonic acid . These three acids constitute the acid rain.
