When sulfur burns in air does it make sulfur oxide or sulfur dioxide?

It makes Sulphur Dioxide. and little Sulphur Trioxide.


How carbon is converted into sulfur dioxide?

Carbon cannot be converted into sulfur dioxide.Carbon burns in air to form carbon dioxide.Sulfur burns in air to form sulfur dioxide.A possible source of confusion is that coal, which is mostly carbon, can release sulfur dioxide when burned because it often contains impurities of sulfur.


What are the products formed when sulfur is burnt in the air?

When sulfur is burnt in air, sulfur dioxide and some sulfur trioxide is formed. These can react with the traces of moisture in the air and so small amounts of sulfurous and sulfuric acid are also formed (acid rain components) S+O2 -----> SO2 2S + 3O2 ------> 2SO3


How are sulfur dioxide carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide produced in combustion?

Sulfur and carbon are oxidized during the combustion process. Sulfur normally forms two compounds when it burns, Sulfur dioxide and to a lesser extent sulfur trioxide. This is normal. Carbon when it burns produces carbon dioxide, if there is not enough air provided to the combustion it will produce carbon monoxide, which is an incomplete reaction. Carbon monoxide is combustible gas and can be burned further into carbon dioxide, with the proper application of air. Nitrogen oxides, nitrous and nitric oxide, are a separate process. These chemical bonds require a heat input to form, and rob heat from a fuel. Typically they are not formed at temperatures under 1500F (816C). These compounds are formed from nitrogen in either the fuel or the air, a very hot flame is required to produce them.


What is the reaction taking place as the hydrogen burns?

Water is formed when hydrogen gas burns (reacts) with oxygen (from air) 2 H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(l)
