The reaction is: S + O2 = SO2
Burning sulfur, or burning anything, is a chemical change.
fuel + oxygen ------> carbon dioxide + water
yes
Sulphur plus Oxygen gives Sulphur dioxide.... S + O2 = SO2
Sulphur + oxygen = Sulphur Oxide
When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.
When sulfur is burning, it reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. The chemical formula for sulfur dioxide is SO2.
Sulphur and Oxygen
Sulphur is an element.He could smell burning sulphur.
no. burning of anything is a chemical change
"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
Just by simple burning it: S + O2 --> SO2
