Acids liberate sulphur dioxide with metallic sulphides.
Write balanced equations to satisfy each statement.
(a) Acid + Active metal → Salt + Hydrogen
(b) Acid + Base → Salt + Water
(c) Acid + Carbonate → Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
or bicarbonate
(d) Acid + Sulphite or bisulphite → Salt + Water + Sulphur dioxide
(e) Acid + Sulphide → Salt + Hydrogen Sulphide
In the Claus process, Hydrogen sulphide reacts with sulphur dioxide to yield elemental sulphur. This is:
