- released by volcanoes
-
Compounds

-
Allotrope :
- different forms
- same element
-
Rhombic Sulphur
- rhombus shaped crystals
-
rings of 8
- S8
-
Monoclinic Sulphur
-
created
- heat rhombic sulphur and cool
- long needle shaped crystal
- S8 molecules
- will change back into rhombic
-
Plastic Sulphur
-
created
- heat until melting
- poor suddenly into cold water
-
cooling rapidly
- crystals can not form
- flexible brown filament
-
leave for a few days
- returns to rhombic sulphur
-
Sulphites
- dilute acid
-
sulphur dioxide + water
- sulphurous acid
- H2SO3
-
Sulphites
- salts of sulphurous acid
-
sulphur dioxide
- sulphite + dilute acid
- K2SO3 (s) + 2HNO3(aq) ---> SO2 (g) + 2KNO3 + H2) (l)
- potassium sulphite + nitric acid ---> sulphur dioxide + potassium nitrite + water
