A cool thing about sulfur is that when you heat it up to it's melting point ( around 112 degrees Celsius) it turns to a kind of red liquid and creates a cool blue flame is set on fire. It also creates the gases Hydrogen sulfide and Carbon disulfide and sometimes even sulfur trioxide which is a very toxic gas. These three gases smell very terrible.

Is sulphur and sulfate the same thing?
No. Sulfur is an element and Sulfate is a compound with sulfur in it.
How is sulfur mined?
Sulfur is extracted by two main processes: Sicilian and Frasch. Sicilian- powdered sulfur is put on the top of the deposit and ignited. AS it burns the sulfur melts from the heat causing the molten sulfur to flow down the hills. Cool huh? Frasch- uses pipes to heat the sulfur, air compresses it (to foam) and it flows out the pipe.
How does smoke from fossil fuels effect the pH of rain?
Fossil fuels contain certain amounts of sulfur, which burns to sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. These react with water to cause acids. Also, most internal combustion engines create oxides of nitrogen, which do the same thing.
What is sulfur Oxides?
Sulfur oxides are the oxides of sulfur with oxygen in -2 oxidation state. There are two main oxides of sulfur. They are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).
What is the covalent compound name for CF4?
This compound is tetrafluoromethane.
What thing is made of sulfur?
Sulfur is used in match tips.
Are sulfur atoms the same thing as sulfur?
Yes, they are.
What makes up sulfur?
Sulfur is a pure chemical element, so the only thing that makes up sulfur is, well, sulfur.
Is sulphur and sulfate the same thing?
No. Sulfur is an element and Sulfate is a compound with sulfur in it.

Is there such thing as iron sulfur?
A compound of iron and sulfur is called ferric sulfide. But you would have to be pretty smart to do that.
Are carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide the same thing?
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.

Why does sulfur turn blue when heated?
I'm glad to find someone else interested in sulfur...its a really cool element! As sulfur is burned, it emits a blue flame because of the production of sulfur dioxide, which is made during the combustion of O2 and sulfur. Just out of curiosity, do you know anything about why sulfur-8 (yellow sulfur) turns blood red at a certain heat? I know it has something to do with its density and viscosity, but other than that I'm stumped!
The first thing you should do for a sulfur mustard casualty is?

What are some thing sulfur is used in?
