  2. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    Sulfur dioxide (IUPAC-recommended spelling) or sulphur dioxide (traditional Commonwealth English) is the chemical compound with the formula S O 2 . It is a colorless gas with a pungent smell that is responsible for the odor of burnt matches.

  3. SO2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So2

    Sulfur dioxide (SO 2), a colorless gas with a pungent smell Sulfonyl group (R-SO 2-R), a functional group found primarily in sulfones, or a substituent; SO(2), special orthogonal group of degree 2 in mathematics; Oxygen saturation (SO 2), the concentration of oxygen dissolved in a medium

  4. Gaseous signaling molecules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_signaling_molecules

    Gaseous signaling molecules are gaseous molecules that are either synthesized internally (endogenously) in the organism, tissue or cell or are received by the organism, tissue or cell from outside (say, from the atmosphere or hydrosphere, as in the case of oxygen) and that are used to transmit chemical signals which induce certain physiological or biochemical changes in the organism, tissue or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_compounds

    Sulfur polycations, S 8 2+, S 4 2+ and S 16 2+ are produced when sulfur is reacted with oxidising agents in a strongly acidic solution. [1] The colored solutions produced by dissolving sulfur in oleum were first reported as early as 1804 by C.F. Bucholz, but the cause of the color and the structure of the polycations involved was only ...

  6. Sulfur cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_cycle

    Sulfur can be found under several oxidation states in nature, mainly −2, −1, 0, +2 (apparent), +2.5 (apparent), +4, and +6. When two sulfur atoms are present in the same polyatomic oxyanion in an asymmetrical situation, i.e, each bound to different groups as in thiosulfate, the oxidation state calculated from the known oxidation state of accompanying atoms (H = +1, and O = −2) can be an ...

  7. Avogadro's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avogadro's_Law

    Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." [1] For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant.

  8. Sulfuric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuric_acid

    or, alternatively, hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas is incinerated to SO 2 gas: 2 H 2 S + 3 O 2 → 2 H 2 O + 2 SO 2 (−1036 kJ/mol) The sulfur dioxide then oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen with vanadium(V) oxide as catalyst. 2 SO 2 + O 2 ⇌ 2 SO 3 (−198 kJ/mol) (reaction is reversible) The sulfur trioxide is hydrated into sulfuric acid ...

  9. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    Drifting smoke particles indicate the movement of the surrounding gas.. Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.The others are solid, liquid, and plasma. [1] A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide).
