What compound do you get if you mix sulphur and oxygen?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Simply mixing them will give you a mixture not a compound because sulfur is stable in the presence of oxygen at STP.

To get a compound you must BURN the sulfur in oxygen an this will produce the compound called sulfur dioxide.

Answer 3

The compound you get when sulfur and oxygen combine is sulfur dioxide (SO2).

Answer 4

S + O2 = SO2

Sulfur burning in pure oxygen produces just sulfur dioxide, without the soot and ash you get when you burn it in a normal environment.

Answer 5

Sulfur Dioxide, or SO2 and also sulfur trioxide SO3. See related link for more information.

Answer 6

When Sulfur reacts to oxygen, Sulfur dioxide(SO2) is formed. Further reaction of this with oxygen gives Sulfur trioxide(SO3).

Answer 7

There are two oxides of sulfur.

Under normal conditions the reaction is S + O2 → SO2

However there is also SO3

sulphur oxide, I think

Answer 8

it makes sulphur dioxide

dont forget its dioxide not oxide

Answer 9

Combination reaction

Sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide is formed depending on the amount of oxygen available.

Answer 10

Becomes sulfur dioxide
