Which of the following can be used to synthesize SO2 ?
Sulphide ores are strongly heated in the presence of air to convert them into their corresponding oxide forms.
You might recall that this process is called roasting.
4FeS2+11O2→2Fe2O3+8SO2
4FeS+7O2→2Fe2O3+4SO2
When hydrogen sulphide is burnt in air, sulphur dioxide and water are formed
2H2S+3O2→2H2O+2SO2
Sulphur dioxide can also be formed by burning sulphur in air:
S+O2→SO2
