Hello!
The formula equation which represents the burning of sulfur to produce sulfur dioxide is: S + O₂ → SO₂
Why?
Sulfur is a non-metal with atomic number 16. When sulfur burns, it undergoes a combustion reaction, which is an exotermic (energy-releasing) reaction where a combustible (sulfur, in this case) reacts with oxygen to produce oxides and heat.
For this reaction, the produced oxide is Sulfur dioxide (SO₂)
Have a nice day!
