How do you get sulfur?
Sulphur is an important non-metallic yellow element. At ordinary temperature it exists as a solid. It melts at 119deg.c and boils at 444deg.c. It does not dissolve in water but does so in carbon disulphide. Its atomic number is 16 and relative density is 2.Sulphur is found in different forms. These are called allotropes of sulphur. Its three important allotropic forms are: rhombic sulphur, monoclinic sulphur, and plastic sulphur. The common form is called rhombic sulphur. It is made up of eightsided yellow crystals.When it is heated to more than 950deg.c, it changes into monoclinic sulphur. when the molten sulphur. When the molten sulphur is pored into cold water, it changes into plastic sulphur. Another allotrope is called flowers of sulphur. It is a yellow powder and is made by quickly cooling sulphur vapour.Large deposits of sulphur are found beneath the earth in several layers, especially in the United States. It is mined by a method called the Frasch process. This method was developed by Herman Frasch in 1891. employing this method ,three coaxial pipes of different diameters are inserted into the earth upto the sulphur bed. superheated water,at 170deg.c, is pumped down the outer pipe and compressed air is pumped down the central pipe . The sulphur is melted by the hot water and forced up by compressed air. The melted sulphur comes up through the middle pipe. It is collected in big wooden vats. Sulphur obtained by this process is 99.5% pure. Sulphur also occurs in nature as hydrogen sulphide gas, calcium sulphate and as sulphides.Sulphur is a reactive element.It burns in the air with a blue flame to form sulphur dioxide. This gas pollutes the air. Sulphur trioxide is another oxide of sulphur which dissolves in water and forms sulphuric acid.Most sulphur is used to make sulphuric acid. It is of great industrial importance. Sulphur is used in making wood pulp and for vulcanizing rubber. It is also used to make wide range of products like drugs, dyes and chemicals to kill insects and moulds. It is also used in manufacture of gun-powder and matches.
Where is Xenon found today and how is it obtained?
It is a trace element in the earth's atmosphere (87 parts per billion). It is obtained by fractional distillation of air.
What is amorphous sulphur?
when molten sulphur heated upto boiling and then poured into cold ice water then it turns elastic rubber like material which is called plastic sulphur or amorphous sulphur
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
oxygen
Oxygen can be obtained by heating?
With the exception of nuclear fusion oxygen cannot be obtained by heating anything. Certainly no heating process on earth is capable of producing oxygen.
What mineral is obtained by the frasch process?
Sulphur
When iron and sulphur are combined what do you get?
Iron sulfides are obtained.
What is the product when sulphur is heated with oxygen?
Sulfor oxides (as SO2) are obtained.
What is the word obtained after unscrambling the word uslufr?

Where to buy Potassium Sulfide?
Also called liver of sulphur. May be obtained from a jewelry supplier.
How a pure sample of iodine could be obtained from a mixture of iodine and sulphur?
Iodine is soluble in carbon tetrachloride.
How are rocks obtained for the earth?
By the moon
What is sulfur concrete?
Sulphur-concrete is obtained by adding sulphur to a concrete mix instead of portland cementand is claimed to be corrosion resistant, of high strength, and with fast-curing time.SULPHUR is the English spelling whereas SULFUR is the American spelling.I have also seen it spelled as SULFERFor a more technical explanation see "What is Sulphur Concrete?"
What is the meaning of selenium?
A nonmetallic element of the sulphur group, and analogous to sulphur in its compounds. It is found in small quantities with sulphur and some sulphur ores, and obtained in the free state as a dark reddish powder or crystalline mass, or as a dark metallic-looking substance. It exhibits under the action of light a remarkable variation in electric conductivity, and is used in certain electric apparatus. Symbol Se. Atomic weight 78.9.
