What happens to the sulphur particles in order for them to become sulphur dioxide particles?
well sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound so the sulfur atoms and the oxygen atoms share valence electrons. This is because all three atoms must try to have an octet, and with only 18 total valence electrons this must be done through sharing. So to become sulfur dioxide, the valence electrons on the oxygen atoms must be shared with the valence electrons on the sulfur atom.
Is vinegar oxidising agent?
No, vinegar will only inhibit enzymatic 'browning' of polyphenols in appel juice for example. This inhibition will only reduce 'oxidation reaction' speed, not preventing or excluding it.
What is the chemical equation when sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas?
There is no equation for Sulfur, it is an element with the symbol S and that is all. Equations are used to represent chemical reactions and formulas are used to represent chemical compounds. Elements just have a symbol because they only contain one sort of atom.
What happen ton sulphar when slightly heated in test tube by a Bunsen burner?
When sulphur is heated in the test tube in the absence of air the sulphur will break down and form a red-brown liquid. If oxygen comes into play sulphur dioxide is produced, however you should not that sulphur dioxide is a highly toxic gas and should only be produced in small amounts under a fume hood.
Why nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen?
Nitric acid cannot prepare hydrogen because it is a strong oxidizing agent. When nitric acid comes into contact with reducing agents like hydrogen, it undergoes a redox reaction where it gets reduced to nitrogen gas instead of producing hydrogen gas.
Why is sulfur-dioxide reducing while tellurium-dioxide is oxidising agent?
S+O2->SO2 Oxidation no. of sulphur changes from 0 to +4. Due to presence of d-orbitals(vacant) sulphur can extend its covalency & show oxidation states till +6, which is stable in sulphur (eg: SF6). Hence it acts as a reducing agent. Te+O2->TeO2 Oxidation no. of Te changes from 0 to +4. Unlike sulphur Te cannot show +6 oxidation state as it is highly unstable due to inert pair effect. Therefore there can only be a decrease in it oxidation state (it can decrease to -2, +2). Hence it acts as an oxidising agent.
Why does burning hydrocarbons produce sulphur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is produced only if the hydrocarbons are contaminated with sulfur compounds.
How sulfur dioxide is prepared in laboratory give only reation?

Is it necessary that an oxidising agent should contain oxygen?
No. An oxidizing agent only needs to be able to increase the oxidation state of an element in another substance, which is a matter of electron transfer rather than oxygen. The halogens, especially fluorine, are strong oxidizing agents that do not contain oxygen.
Is vinegar oxidising agent?
No, vinegar will only inhibit enzymatic 'browning' of polyphenols in appel juice for example. This inhibition will only reduce 'oxidation reaction' speed, not preventing or excluding it.
Is the volcano Santorini dormant?
The volcano is an active one; now (I visited the island in September 2010) only some fumaroles with sulphur, carbon dioxide, water vapour.
Which elements are in sulphur oxide?
Only sulphur and oxygen. You should be able to tell that from the name.
Is sulfuric a gas?
sulfur is an element that can be found on the periotic table of the elements it can be found in many states including gas.
Is phosgene gas in automotive exhaust?
No. Only thing found in exhaust are. Carbon Monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Sulphur dioxide Suspended particles, PM-10 particles less than 10 microns in size. Benzene Formaldehyde Polycyclic hydrocarbons
What is the harmful gas that comes out of driving cars?
Cars produce many many harmful gases.These include Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxide.Carbon Dioxide is a major contributor to Global Warming, and slightly to Acid Rain.Nitrogen Oxide contributes, not only to Global Warming, but also to Acid Rain.Whereas, Sulphur Dioxide contributes to Acid Rain.Carbon Monoxide, is a harmful gas, but does not contribute to Global Warming or Acid Rain. However, it can kill us humans, it is known as 'the silent killer'.
Is the volcano Santorini currently as of 2009 dormant or active?
The volcano is an active one; now (I visited the island in September 2010) only some fumaroles with sulphur, carbon dioxide, water vapour.
