Sulphur burning
Sulphur burning in air. Sulphur being burnt on a spoon, producing a blue flame. Sulphur is the tenth most abundant element in the universe. At room temperature it is a pale yellow, odourless solid. When burnt in air it reacts with oxygen to produce sulphur dioxide (SO2). Sulphur dioxide is the main component of acid rain. It forms in the atmosphere when fossil fuels contaminated with sulphur are burnt

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the mesmerizing sight of sulphur burning in air. The image showcases a spoon holding sulphur, which is being set ablaze to produce a vibrant blue flame. Sulphur, known as the tenth most abundant element in the universe, appears as a pale yellow and odourless solid at room temperature. When ignited in the presence of oxygen, sulphur reacts to form sulphur dioxide (SO2), which plays a significant role in acid rain formation. Acid rain occurs when fossil fuels contaminated with sulphur are burned and release this compound into the atmosphere. The photograph not only highlights the visual spectacle of combustion but also serves as a reminder of the chemical reactions that occur around us every day. It symbolizes an experiment conducted within the realm of chemistry and analytical analysis. Science enthusiasts and researchers alike will appreciate this stunning portrayal of elemental reaction. This image provides insight into how different elements interact under specific conditions, shedding light on their properties and behavior during combustion processes. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into one aspect of scientific exploration without any commercial intent or affiliation mentioned.
