Write the chemical equation for : "sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur-di-oxide'
Answers
Answer:
Sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. When nonmetals react with one another, the product is a molecular compound. Often, the nonmetal reactants can combine in different ratios and produce different products. Sulfur can also combine with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide.
Answer:
Sulfur reacts with oxygen in air to form Sulfur dioxide which is a major irritant and one of the causes for acid rain.
Sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide
S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g)
If you are wondering how acid rain is made by sulfur biting in air:
Sulfur dioxide, which is a product of sulfur burning in air reacts with water in air to produce sulfurous acid. (SO2(g)+H2O(g)→H2SO3(aq))
When sulfurous acid is oxidized it becomes sulfuric acid which contributes in lowering the pH of the rain..
