Solution

Sulfur dioxide or Sulfuric acid is obtained by the oxidation of Sulfur with Nitric acid.
Nitrogen dioxide gas is formed in the reaction.
Reaction- $\underset{S u l f u r}{S} + \underset{N i t r i c a c i d}{6 H N O_{3}} \to \underset{S u l f u r i c a c i d}{H_{2} S O_{4}} + 2 H_{2} O + \underset{N i t r o g e n d i o x i d e}{6 N O_{2}}$
So, Nitrogen dioxide gas is formed by the reaction of Sulfur and Nitric acid.
