8. A lump of sulphur when rubbed against dry hand or wool attracts scraps
of paper.
Ans. 1. When a lump of sulphur is rubbed against dry hand or wool, its surface
becomes electro statically charted. Hence, it attracts scraps of paper.
Ans. Gun powder contains sulphur, Charcoal and nitre (Potassium Nitrate)
Ans. When Sulphur dioxide id dissolved in water produces sulphuric acid and
nascent hydrogen. Nascent hydrogen bleaches colouring matter. Thus, sulphur
dioxide acts as a bleaching agent.
SO2 + H2O H2SO3 (Sulphuric acid)
H2SO3 + H2O H2SO4 + 2H (Nascent)
Colouring matter + 2H (Nascent) Colourless matter.
Ans.
1. Rhombic sulphur is the most stable form of sulphur.
2. When it is heated, gradually different structural changes take place.
3. The changes occur in the reverse order when boiling sulphur is cooled.
Hence, the effect of heat on sulphur is reversible.
18. Sulphur dioxide is used for bleaching woolen and silk garments.
19. Sulphur dioxide gas is used extensively in textile and paper industries.
1. Iron Sulphide and dilute sulphuric acid or dilute hydrochloric acid are the
chemicals used.
2. FeS+ H2SO4 FeSO4 + H2S
FeS+ 2HCl FeCl2 + H2S
1. Copper turnings and concentrated sulphuric acid are the chemicals used.
2. Cu + 2 H2SO4 heat CuSO4 + 2H2O SO2
3. Sulphur dioxide is collected by
Upward displacement of air.
