Sulfur oxidation Choose one: A. causes environmental pollution due to production of ammonium ions. B. causes environmental acidification due to production of sulfuric acid. C. contributes to global warming due to CO2 production. D. contributes to global warming due to methane production.

The correct answer is B. causes environmental acidification due to production of sulfuric acid.

Explanation:

Sulphur causes environmental acidification due to production of sulfuric acid. For example,

Sulphur can be oxidized to sulphur dioxide according to the equation:

S +O2 ==> SO2

The sulphur dioxide combines with rain water and is washed down in form of weak acid according to the equation;

SO2 +H2O ==> H2SO3

The product is an acid known as trioxosulphate (V) acid which is a sulphuric acid. And so acidification of environment is possible.

Also as Sulfur can be found in the air in many different forms. It can cause irritations of the eyes and the throat with animals, when the uptake takes place through inhalation of sulfur in the gaseous phase. Sulfur is applied in industries widely and emitted to air, due to the limited possibilities of destruction of the sulfur bonds that are applied.

The damaging effects of sulfur with animals are mostly brain damage, through malfunctioning of the hypothalamus, and damage to the nervous system.
