Question

What happens when Sulphur is treated with Conc. HNO3.

Answer 1

Answer:

Concentrated nitric acid acts as an oxidizing agent for both sulfur & carbon. In the case of sulfur, S will get the oxygen atoms & the water needed for the reaction: S+6HNO3→H2SO4+2H2O+6NO2 so if sulfur is converted to SO2 first, it will proceed into SO3 & eventually to H2SO4.
