Explain the importance of Sulphur and its applications, write 5 items

Sulphur is very much important in the industrial processes that are utilized in the functions of industrial work in the economy. Sulphur is used to production of sulphuric acid which is used on the large scale in the manufacturing of the fertilizers. It is also important in the preparation of detergents, pigments and fibers as well as in the storage batteries. It is also used in the making of paper and several products that are used in our routine life.

Applications of Sulphur

1.       At the point when sulfur consumes and burn on heat, it produces sulfur dioxide, a noxious gas. At one time this gas was utilized in New York to disinfect structures harboring irresistible maladies.

2.      The utilization of consuming sulfur for fumigation started a few thousand years ago. In Homer's 'The Odyssey' which is around 2800 years of age, Odysseus says, "Bring sulfur, old medical attendant that washes down all contamination, and bring me fire, that I may clean the house with sulfur.

3.      Sulfur is most likely to be accepted to have been a segment of 'Greek Fire,' a weapon like a flamethrower utilized by the Byzantine Empire and it is used in the flaming of the infections.

4.      The primary formula for black powder, containing saltpeter, sulfur and carbon to make carbon paper that is being used in the printing.

A.    Show the ion formation of Sulphur and ion formation of the metal you have
selected, and the reaction between them
Do the following:
1. State the group of each element
2. Show the ions formation
3. Show the reactions between them and name the compound

Sulphur is activated with different kinds of metals that are considered as active metal and it could be sulphide ion according to the following formula:

16 K(s) +S₈(s) 8 K₂S(s)

This is not based on the single product that could be attained by the reactions, there are different kinds of polysulphide ions that are charge of -2 and could produce different kinds of numbers in the atoms of sulphur in the chain of ions.

And the name of the compound is Ionic compound.

B.     List at least 3 applications for the compound and explain the role of the compound

There are three compounds;

·         Metal + Metal = Metallic Compound.

·         Metal + Non-Metal = Ionic compound.

·         Non-Metal + Non-Metal = Covalent compound

So, we have sulphur and metal; whereas sulphur is non-metal;

So we have Metal + Non-Metal = Ionic compound

Least 3 applications for the compound                        

·         In different cases the ionic compound involving Barium chloride which could be used to create the firework where it release the green colored explosion.

·         The solid ionic compounds also used as the paint pigmentation for the resistance of organic solvents.

·         Several ionic compounds could excite the natural hormones and also allows the synchronization of plant development.  

Role of Compound
The ionic bonds are significant due to the allows the synthesis of the unique organic compounds,
3A. Show the ion formation of Sulphur and ion formation of the nonmetal you have selected, and the reaction between them
Do the following:
1. State the group of each element

The selected non-metal is Carbon; and the group of sulphur is 16 in the periodic table and the group of carbon is 14 in periodic table.
2. Show the ions formation

·         When sulphur receives the two electron then it ionized and becoming an ion by the 2-charge.

·         Whereas the carbon does not really from ions, because the carbon atoms have 6 protons in the nuclei and the 6 electrons orbiting it.

3. Show the reactions between them and name the compound

And the name of the compound is covalent compound.
B) List at least 3 applications for the compound and explain the role of the compound

·         Every kind of fuel we used in pour daily life is formed due to the covalent bonds between the constituent of element substances.

·         Most of clothes that we wear are consist of covalent compounds

·         Most of foods which is used for sustaining the life and formed due to formation of covalent compound

Role of Covalent compound

Covalent compounds are significant because most of carbon molecule interact by the covalent bonding.
