Question
which fuel is most likely to release sulfur oxides when burned? tidal power biomass solar energy coal
Brief Explanations
Tidal power and solar energy are renewable energy sources that do not involve burning and thus do not release sulfur oxides. Biomass, when burned, can release some sulfur oxides but in much smaller quantities compared to coal. Coal is a fossil fuel that contains significant amounts of sulfur. When coal is burned, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur oxides (\(SO_{2}\) and \(SO_{3}\)).
