NO!!!
Sulphur is combusted /burnt in air(oxygen) to form sulphur dioxide.
Sulphur dioxide is soluble in water , and forms sulphurous acid (H2SO3).

Why not to use water to make solution of sulfur?
Sulfur will not dissolve in water, it can in carbon disulfide (CS2)
How do you separate the mixture of sulfur from charcoal?
by solvent extraction. sulfur can be dissolve in carbon di sulphide solution.
How do you separate sulfur sand iron filings?
Iron fillings has the property of being magnetic, so you could pass it through a magnetic drum to remove it leaving sulfur and sand. Since sulfur is a solute it will dissolve in water leaving sand and forming a solution. You can then pass that through a filter separating the sand and the solution containing water and sulfur. Now you can put the solution in an evaporating basin to evaporate the water leaving the sulfur.
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.
How will you separate a mixture of common salt and sulfur?
Probably the simplest method is to dissolve the salt in water, filter the sulphur out (then evaporate the salt solution to recover the salt if desired.)

If both sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide dissolve in water-what color would the solution be?
SO2 is less soluble in water... but solution of SO2 and CO2 will be colourless...

Sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide dissolve in water what colour would their solution change the universal indicator to?
It wouldn't change at all as it is neutral
Does sulfur dissolve in alcohol?
It is "very slightly soluble" in alcohol. Seriously, though, elemental sulfur doesn't really like to dissolve in anything.
How much does one gallon of one half of a percent sulfur water weigh at STP?
Interesting question, since sulfur will not dissolve or react with water. But if it did, one gallon of a 1/2% (by weight) solution of "sulfur water" would weigh 8.3817 pounds. (There would be about 2/3rds of an ounce of sulfur "dissolved" in the water.)

What is the name products of the combustion of sulfur?
Combustion of sulfur produce sulfur oxides.
What element iron or sulfur was affected by the carbon disulfide?
Non are affected, only sulfur will dissolve in it, not iron.
Which gas is produced when burning sulfur?
an alkaline gas is formed
