Solution

The name of the product formed in the reaction of sulphur and oxygen is sulphur dioxide gas. When sulphur dioxide is dissolved in water, sulphurous acid is formed. The sulphurous acid turns blue litmus paper to red. Generally, oxides of non-metals are acidic in nature.

Questions maybe
(i) Which gas is formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen?
(ii) What is the nature of oxides of non-metals?

Sulphur dioxide is dissolved in water. The solution is tested for acidic nature. What are the changes you will observe when you dip a litmus paper in the solution?

Give reasons for the following:
(i) In the contact process, sulphur trioxide formed is dissolved in 98% sulphuric acid and not in water.
