Question

Which formula equation represents the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

option A = S(s) + O₂(g)   →   SO₂ (s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

S(s) + O₂(g)   →   SO₂ (s)

when sulfur burned in the presence of oxygen it produce sulfur dioxide. The sulfur dioxide can further react with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide and then react with water to form sulfuric acid.

Uses of sulfur dioxde:

It is used as a solvent and reagent in laboratory.

Sulfur dioxide is used to produce sulfuric acid.

It is used as a disinfectant

It is also used as a reducing agent.

It is used to preserve the dry food.
