Sulfur, Elemental [S] Fine yellow powder.
At room temperature, sulfur is a soft bright yellow solid.
Although sulfur is blamed for the smell—, e.g. of rotten eggs— elemental sulfur
has only the faintest odor (the odor associated with rotten eggs is actually due
to hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfur compounds). It burns with a blue flame
that emits sulfur dioxide, notable for its peculiar suffocating odor. Sulfur is
insoluble in water but soluble in carbon disulfide and to a lesser extent in
other organic solvents such as benzene. Common oxidation states of sulfur
include -2, +2, +4 and +6. Sulfur forms stable compounds with all elements
except the noble gases.
One of the basic ingredients for many fireworks. Flowers of
sulphur is too acidic and if used need a stabilizer added. Sulphur and chlorates
or phosphorous are extremely shock and friction sensitive and should be avoided.
Used primarily with nitrates. Sulfur has always been used extensively in
pyrotechnics. It serves as a fuel, and reduces the ignition temperature of
mixtures. It also tends to increase the burning rate and friction or shock
sensitivity of most mixtures.
Ours is 99.9% pure and has a very low acid content.
