When sulfur powder is burned in air, it combines with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas. This reaction produces a blue flame and releases heat energy. Additionally, sulfur dioxide gas can react with water in the air to form sulfuric acid, which may create a pungent odor and cause air pollution.
What else can I help you with?
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
The sulphur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air during combustion to produce sulphur dioxide. This reaction is responsible for the creation of air pollution and acid rain.
What is the chemical name for the white powder formed when magnesium burned in air?
Magnesium oxide anything that is burned with oxygen (what is left) is called [material you burned] oxide
Why do you analyze sulfur in coal?
The amount of sulphur in coal is directly related to the amount of sulphur dioxide it would produce on burning and hence it becomes necessary to check sulphur content since there are emission limits on amount of sulphur dioxides that can come out since it is an air pollutant. To remove sulphur one might consider adding carbonates as it would help convert sulphur dioxide to sulphates which can be removed along with the ash.
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.
What happen to sulfur during combustion of sulfur?
Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. S + O2 -> SO2
What experiment did Antoine lavoisier do?
He burned sulphur in air to get Sulphur oxide
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulphur impurities is burned the sulphur reacts with what to produce sulphur dioxide?
The sulphur in the fuel reacts with oxygen in the air during combustion to produce sulphur dioxide. This reaction is responsible for the creation of air pollution and acid rain.
What fuels are in the air when hydrocarbons are burned?
sulphur oxicide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon.
What is the chemical name for the white powder formed when magnesium burned in air?
Magnesium oxide anything that is burned with oxygen (what is left) is called [material you burned] oxide
What will happen when coal is burned in the absence of air?
It will not burn.
What is white powder if you burn it and it turns red?
The white powder is likely phosphorus. When phosphorus is burned in air, it produces white fumes and eventually turns into phosphorus pentoxide, which appears as a red powder.
What can you learn from heating sulphur?
By heating sulfur is melted at 115,21 0C and boiled at 444,6 0C. Sulfur is burned at high temperature in an air atmosphere.
What can you see if silver is burnt in the air?
When silver is burned in the air, it forms silver oxide. This compound is a black powder that can be seen during the burning process.
What happen when bleaching powder is left exposed to air?
it gradually looses its color.
How are humans altering the amounts of sulphur dioxide in air?
Humans are altering sulphur in air by releasing it. It is released as pollution.
How does burning carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollute the air?
The chemicals that are burned make the air we breathe bad. Plus it is burned and turns into smoke and smoke is not good for the human lungs.
What will you produce if you burn sulphur in the air?
You will get SO2 or sulphur dioxide, an acidic oxide
