Question

when sulphur burns in air,it produces sulphur Dioxide. So during this reaction which element gains electrons and how many?

Answer 1

A sample of yellow powdered sulfur in a deflagrating spoon is ignited until it burns spontaneously in air with a light blue flame. The burning sulfur is then inserted into the flask. The sulfur reacts with oxygen in the flask to form sulfur dioxide gas, which then dissolves in the water, forming sulfurous acid.
