Question9A power station burns coal to generate electricity for the city. As the coal burns, sulphur that is present in the coal reacts with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide, which is given off as a gas.Fill in the blanks below to explain how this process results in acid rain.Sulphur dioxide will ___A____ in ____B____, which fall back as acid rain to the ocean, lake and land.A: B: NextAsk Barry

Problem PageQuestionMost of the coal available in the United States is bituminous or "soft" coal, which contains as much as 5% sulfur by weight. When this coal is burned, the sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas. When the sulfur dioxide gas dissolves in raindrops, it forms sulfuric acid. This is how we get acid rain. Here is the reaction that produces sulfur dioxide gas when soft coal is burned:S8s+8O2g→  8SO2gSuppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. She prepares four reaction vessels with 145.3g of solid sulfur and 35.4g of oxygen gas each. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below.Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on.

Recall which of the following products of fossil fuel combustion are the main contributors to acid rain. Sulfur dioxide (SO)Nitrogen dioxide (NO)Methane (CH)Carbon monoxide (CO)Carbon (C)

Which of the following chemical reactions are involved in the creation of acid rain?I. sulfur dioxide and water vapor combine to create sulfuric acidII. hydrogen and chlorine combine to create hydrochloric acidIII. sulfur and oxygen combine to create sulfur dioxide

Sulphur Dioxide leads to acid rain, which can damage _ and crops

Consider the following:1. Carbon monoxide2. Nitrogen oxide3. Ozone4. Sulphur dioxideExcess of which of the above in the environment is/are cause(s) of acid rain?1 point(a) 1, 2 and 3(b) 2 and 4 only(c) 4 only(d) 1, 3 and 4
