No, elemental sulfur (S) is not acidic, mainly because it is insoluble with water.
However both sulfur oxides: SO2 and SO3 are acid forming oxides (weak and strong respectively), like most nonmetal oxides are in nature.

Is sulfur trioxide a base?
No, it is acidic
Is an acidic gas given off when you burn sulfur?
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
Is sulfur dioxide gas basic or acidic in nature?
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
Is sulfur dioxide a acidic or alkaline solution?
At STP sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. It readily combines with water to form 'sulphurous acid (H2SO3) . Note the name and formula.
What is the solid yellow which burns to form acidic oxide?
Sulfur
Is the oxide of sulfur is acidic or basic?
acidic
Is sulfur dioxide amphoteric?
No. Sulfur dioxide is acidic.
Is sulfur trioxide a base?
No, it is acidic
Is sulfur oxide acidic?
Yes, both sulfur oxides are acidic: with water the give sulfurous (weak -) and sulfuric (strong -) acids
Is an acidic gas given off when you burn sulfur?
Yes, burning sulfur releases sulfur dioxide or SO2.
Is sulfur dioxide acidic?
This is because sulphur dioxide is an acidic oxide. Acidic oxides are formed from non-metals.
Is the product formed on burning sulfur powder acidic or basic?
We had a laboratory activity in our class and we burnt sulfur, then we placed blue and red litmus papers which are indicators to know if a substance is acidic or basic, the blue litmus paper turned red therefore the product of burning sulfur powder is acidic
Is sulfur acidic or basic?
Sulfur tends to burn, forming sulfur dioxide, which combines with water to form sulfuric acid, so in practice, sulfur leads to acidity. But it is not in itself an acid.
Is sulfur dioxide a acidic or alkaline solution?
At STP sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. It readily combines with water to form 'sulphurous acid (H2SO3) . Note the name and formula.
Is sulfur dioxide gas basic or acidic in nature?
sulphur dioxide is an acidic gas. Remember;- Groups 1 & 2 oxides are basic. None metal oxides are acidic.
What is the solid yellow which burns to form acidic oxide?
Sulfur
Is the burned sulfur mixed with distilled water acid or base?
Burning sulfur in air sulfur dioxide is formed; this gas dissolved in water form an acidic solution.
