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 on the periodic table, while sulfate is a compound that includes sulfur and oxygen atoms. Sulfur is the pure element, while sulfate is a chemical compound containing sulfur and oxygen ions.


Is sulfur hexachloride and sulfur dioxide the same thing?

No, they are two separate gases, with completely different properties. Sulfer Dioxide is found in things like car exhaust and contributes to things like acid rain. It's also used as a preservative for food. Its Chemical formula is SO2 Sulfur Hexachloride is another compound entirely. It is very hard to make and has few practical uses, outside of the chemists lab that is. Its Chemical Formula is SCl6


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.


Are sulfur and sulfate the same thing?

No, sulfur and sulfate are not the same thing. Sulfur is a chemical element with the symbol S, while sulfate is a chemical compound containing sulfur and oxygen with the formula SO4^2-. Sulfur is the element itself, while sulfate is a specific chemical compound that contains sulfur.


How are a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule similar?

Both sulfur and sulfur dioxide molecules contain atoms of sulfur. However, sulfur is a diatomic molecule (S2) while sulfur dioxide is a triatomic molecule (SO2), consisting of one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Additionally, both molecules have a distinct sulfur smell.
