Question
which fuel is most likely to release sulfur oxides when burned? tidal power biomass coal solar energy
Brief Explanations
Tidal power and solar energy are renewable energy sources that do not involve combustion and thus do not release sulfur oxides. Biomass combustion can release some sulfur, but coal is a fossil fuel with relatively high sulfur content. When coal burns, sulfur in it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur oxides ($\ce{S + O_{2}\xlongequal{点燃}SO_{2}}$).
