What happens when sulphuric acid reacts with sulphur?

Answer 1

Since magnesium is more reactive than hydrogen, magnesium replaces the hydrogen in the sulfuric acid, producing magnesium sulfate and hydrogen gas. This is an example of a single replacement (single displacement) reaction. The balanced chemical equation is:

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) --> MgSO4(aq) + H2(g)

Any element in a reactivity series can replace any element below it in the list.

Answer 3

The copper disintegrates and gives off noxious fumes.

Answer 4

Sulphur does not react with sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is the reacted form of sulphur and all oxygen and chemically required water is used up.

Answer 5

If sulphuric acid reacts with iron iron sulphate is formed.

FeSO4

Answer 6

Sulphuric is a a strong acid. It forms ammonium sulphate react with ammonia.

Answer 7

Sulfuric acid doesn't react with sulfur.

Answer 8
