When sulfur reacts with oxygen, it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2). This reaction is exothermic and typically occurs with the release of heat and light.
this forms hydrogen oxide (water)! This was my science hmwk and i hope that this has helped you!!
H2SO4 [water plus Sulphur Dioxide]. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it Sulphur Trioxide?
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulfur impurities is burned, the **sulfur reacts with oxygen from the air to produce sulfur dioxide (SO₂)
Sulphur dioxide is a COMPOUND. It tis a combination of two oxygen atoms with a sulphur atom . Structurally it is shown as ' O=S=O'. (Very similar to carbon dioxide. Each oxygen atom is doubly covalently bonded to the sulphur atom. NB It is NOT a mixture, because mixtures have NO electronic bonding between atoms. NNB It is NOT an element. It is composed of TWO elements viz. sulphur and oxygen. The Periodic Table gives a list of all the elements. You will not find sulphur dioxide (SO2) listed,as it is a compound, but separately sulphur(S) and oxygen(O).
There is no elemental iron (Fe) involved in this reaction, neither as reactant (iron sulphide -FeS- plus oxygen are) nor as product (iron oxide (FeO) plus sulphur dioxide are)
Sulphur + oxygen = Sulphur Oxide
Sulphur plus Oxygen gives Sulphur dioxide.... S + O2 = SO2
"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
when sulphur and oxygen are heated together they create sulphidesulphur + oxygen -> sulphideS + O2 -> SO2
When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.
Sulphur and Oxygen
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.
The chemical reaction is:2 SO2 + O2 ↔ 2 SO3
this forms hydrogen oxide (water)! This was my science hmwk and i hope that this has helped you!!
