"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 dioxide
Then:
Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur + Oxygen --> sulphur dioxide
or
sulphur + oxygen --> sulphur trioxide
it depends on the conditions.
it is a combustion. the word equation would be: sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide the balanced chemical equation: S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)
Na + 2S --> Na2S Sodium and Sulphur yield Sodium Sulphide.
Word equation:sodium + oxygen => sodium oxideSymbol equation:4Na + O2 => 2Na2O
copper + sulphur = copper sulphide! it's been a while since I've done chemestry, so bear with me. the reaction works out as CuS + O2 = Cu + SO2 , if i read your word equation correctly, which would make the reactants copper sulphide and oxygen.
Magnesium+Sulphur=Magnesium Sulphide (Mg+S=MgS)
it is a combustion. the word equation would be: sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide the balanced chemical equation: S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)
Sulphur and oxygen react to form either sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide, depending on reaction conditions.
Octane + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water Lulu
Na + 2S --> Na2S Sodium and Sulphur yield Sodium Sulphide.
Methane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
magnesium plus oxygen
methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water 2 Methane molecules plus 4 Oxygen molecules gives 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide plus 4 Water molecules.
This is the word equation for the electrolysis of water; splitting it apart into its component elements.
ironsulphide
Four moles of sodium plus 1 mole of oxygen gas produces 2 moles sodium oxide. 4Na + O2 --->2Na2O
"Sulfur dioxide" is a phrase, not a word. This phrase is the name of a chemical compound of sulfur and oxygen with a molecular and empirical chemical formula of SO2.
