Oxides, Oxyacids, and Oxyanions of Sulfur

Sulfur dioxide, formed when sulfur bums in air, has a choking odor and is poisonous. The gas is particularly toxic to lower organisms, such as fungi, so it is used to sterilize dried fruit and wine. At 1 atm and room temperature, SO2 dissolves in water to produce a 1.6 M solution. The SO2 solution is acidic, and we describe it as sulfurous acid (H2SO3). 

In this reaction, what has happened to the H and 0 atoms in the sucrose  

Year after year, the production of sulfuric acid is the largest of any chemical produced in the United States. About 4 X 10 1 (40 million tons) is produced annually in this country. Sulfuric add is employed in some way in almost all manufacturing. Consequently, its consumption is considered a measure of industrial activity. 

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, but only the first hydrogen is completely ionized in aqueous solution  

Consequently, sulfuric acid forms both sulfates (S04 salts) and bisulfates (or hydrogen sulfates, HSO4 salts). Bisulfate salts are common components of the dry acid.s used for adjusting the pH of swimming pools and hot tubs they are also components of many toilet bowl cleaners.
