Question

what happens when sulphur reacts with nitric acid
​

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.

pls pls mark me as brainliest please

Answer 2

Answer:

the balanced reaction for this is:-

S+6HNO3------> H2S+ 2H2O + 6NO2

Sulphur gets reduced and nitrogen gets oxidised in this reaction. hope this helps you
