Sulfur dioxide is present in many fuels either as H2S, sulfur or sulphidic organic compounds (R-SH) like mercaptans or disulfides.
In combustion, these sulfurs are combined with oxygen to produce SO2 and some SO3.
Both SO2 and SO3 can combine in further atmospheric reactions to produce sulfurous or sulfuric acids.
Sulfur dioxide is formed by the combustion of sulfur-containing fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. Nitrogen dioxide is formed by the combustion of fossil fuels at high temperatures, which leads to the oxidation of nitrogen in the air. Both pollutants are released into the atmosphere primarily from industrial processes and vehicle emissions.
S + O2 à SO2 This is a combustion reaction
The immediate product of burning sulfur is sulfur dioxide (SO2). This gas is formed when sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air during 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.
Sulfur undergoes many reactions with oxygen, leading to the formation of sulfur oxides; these can have a variety of formulae. Sulfur + oxygen ---> sulfur DIoxide. This is the balanced equation of the above reaction: S + O2 ---> SO2

The word equation for the combustion of sulfur is sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide.
Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. S + O2 -> SO2
The combustion of sulfur is called sulfur combustion or sulfur burning. When sulfur combusts, it reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur dioxide gas.
The immediate product of burning sulfur is sulfur dioxide (SO2). This gas is formed when sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air during combustion.
Oh, dude, that's a classic combustion reaction! When you mix sulfur with oxygen and add some heat, you get the party started with some sulfur dioxide. It's like chemistry's way of saying, "Let's heat things up and make some smelly gas!"
No, sulfur dioxide is not a salt. It is a chemical compound composed of sulfur and oxygen. Salt, on the other hand, typically refers to compounds formed from the reaction of an acid and a base.
When a matchstick is struck, sulfur dioxide is produced due to the combustion of sulfur-containing compounds found in the match head. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat, which ignites the matchstick, allowing it to burn and produce a flame. The presence of sulfur in the match head contributes to the production of sulfur dioxide gas during this combustion process.

Sulfur and oxygen can combine through a chemical reaction to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) or sulfur trioxide (SO3) depending on the reaction conditions. These compounds are formed when sulfur reacts with oxygen in the presence of heat or a catalyst.
Sulfur dioxide can be prepared in the laboratory by reacting sulfur with oxygen or air. This reaction is typically carried out in a combustion chamber where sulfur burns in the presence of excess oxygen to form sulfur dioxide gas. The gas can then be collected using a suitable apparatus.
