Are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide the same thing?
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
What is the chemical formula for mono sulfur dioxide?
The chemical formula of sulfur dioxide is SO2 (not mono and di in the same name !).
What weighs 1kg if it's dry and if it's wet then its weight is 2kg and if burned then its weight is 3kg?
Sulfur is closely match this puzzle. The density of 2 kg sulfur is double than 1 kg water. So if you weigh the sulfur in immersed state, the weight of sulfur will be 1 kg. Sulfur will displace about 1 kg water and will lose the same weight. After taking out of water, 2 kg sulfur will be 2 kg only. When you burn the sulfur, it will combine with 2 kg oxygen and you will get 4 kg of sulfur bi oxide. So it is fairly close to the answer. 3 kg literally means more than 2 kg. May be you know the better answer.
What elements present sulfur?
Just ONE viz., SULPHUR. NB Sulphur is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table in the same Group as oxygen.
Is sulfur yellow?
YES!!! Sulphur exhibits several allotropes. The Yellow allotrope is 'S8'. It is sometimes named as ' flowers of sulphur'. There are at least two other allotropes, they are red sulphur, and white sulphur, but these are less common. NB An ALLOTROPE is a different physical form of the same element.
Is sulphur dioxide the same as sulphur?
No, sulfur is an element and sulfur dioxide is a gaseous compound. Sulfur dioxide is the combustion product of sulfur in an oxygen atmosphere (S+O2 --> SO2) Where sulfur is an element, sulfur dioxide is a compound and where sulfur is an insoluble yellow solid, sulfur dioxide is a colorless soluble gas.
Is sulphur and sulfate the same thing?
No. Sulfur is an element and Sulfate is a compound with sulfur in it.
Are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide the same thing?
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
Are the atoms of sulphur heated and the atoms of sulphur as a solid the same?
Yes, atoms of sulfur are identical.
Is sulfur dioxide the same as sulfite?
No, sulfur dioxide is a gas with the formula SO2 Sulfite is an ion with the formula (SO32-). It occurs along side some sort of positive ion to balance its negative charge. These compounds, called sulfites, can form when sulfur dioxide, an acidic oxide, reacts with basic oxides. Most metal oxides are basic.
What is the origin of sulphur dioxide?
Although there are many potential sources of sulphur dioxide the primary concern is the comes from burning fossil fuels (coal and oil). The are referred to as "sour" fuels. Sulfur dioxide has the formula SO2. It is formed by burning sulfur, which is an impurity in coal and crude oil, with oxygen in the air.In Industry:The burning of sulphur containing fuels (Bunker, coal, sour gas)The flaring of sour gas either at gas wells or at refineriesThe processing of sulphidic ores (pyrites)Fires at sulphur blocks (a storage system for bulk sulphur)In Nature:VolcanoesIn the lab:Burning of sulfur
What is a natural source of sulfur dioxide carbon dioxide and ash in the atmosphere?
Volcanos release sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and ash to the atmosphere at the same time
What is the chemical formula for mono sulfur dioxide?
The chemical formula of sulfur dioxide is SO2 (not mono and di in the same name !).

What elements are in the same group as sulphur?
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur,selenium, and phosphorus are all in the same group
Why is sulphur harmful to the atmosphere?
Sulphur bind with oxygen and helium to make SO2 and H2S which are foul-smelling, toxic compunds. It burns to create sulphur dioxide which is an irritating gas that causes breathing problems. Sulphur also makes acid rain whicch corrodes buildings.
Why does sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass?
They don't. Sulphur has about twice the atomic mass of oxygen.
