Sulfur undergoes many reactions with oxygen, leading to the formation of sulfur oxides; these can have a variety of formulae.
Sulfur + oxygen ---> sulfur DIoxide.
This is the balanced equation of the above reaction:
S + O2 ---> SO2
Simply mixing them will give you a mixture not a compound because sulfur is stable in the presence of oxygen at STP.
To get a compound you must BURN the sulfur in oxygen an this will produce the compound called sulfur dioxide.
S + O2 = SO2
Sulfur burning in pure oxygen produces just sulfur dioxide, without the soot and ash you get when you burn it in a normal environment.
Sulfur Dioxide, or SO2 and also sulfur trioxide SO3. See related link for more information.
When Sulfur reacts to oxygen, Sulfur dioxide(SO2) is formed. Further reaction of this with oxygen gives Sulfur trioxide(SO3).
There are two oxides of sulfur.
Under normal conditions the reaction is S + O2 → SO2
However there is also SO3
sulphur oxide, I think
it makes sulphur dioxide
dont forget its dioxide not oxide
Combination reaction
Sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide is formed depending on the amount of oxygen available.
Becomes sulfur dioxide
Sulfur trioxide
Yes, because it is comprised of both sulphur and oxygen. :)
S + O2 --> SO2 sulfer dioxide
Zinc sulphate is a COMPOUND. It is made up of three elements, they are Zinc, Sulphur and Oxygen. The chemical formula is 'ZnSO4'. This tells us that there is one atom of zinc, one atom of sulphur and 4 atoms of oxygen. In normal ambient conditions it is a white solid.
"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
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
It is a compound.The chemical formula for sulphur dioxide is SO2. It is made of elements sulphur and oxygen. So it is a compound.
it is oxygen
Anything that is not an element is a compound. Suphuric acid consists of sulphur, hydrogen, and oxygen and is therefore a compound.
cobalt sulphide
Water is a compound, it is made from two elements. Two atoms of Hydrogen and one of Oxygen. Sulphur, like Hydrogen and Oxygen, is an element.
Anything that is not an element is a compound. Suphuric acid consists of sulphur, hydrogen, and oxygen and is therefore a compound.
Yes, because it is comprised of both sulphur and oxygen. :)
S + O2 --> SO2 sulfer dioxide
when sulphur and oxygen are heated together they create sulphidesulphur + oxygen -> sulphideS + O2 -> SO2
You get CO.
Zinc sulphate is a COMPOUND. It is made up of three elements, they are Zinc, Sulphur and Oxygen. The chemical formula is 'ZnSO4'. This tells us that there is one atom of zinc, one atom of sulphur and 4 atoms of oxygen. In normal ambient conditions it is a white solid.
Its a compound composed of Two Hydrogen's and 2 Oxygen's.
