Question

In what form is the sulfur that we use in the laboratory?

Answer 1

The sulfur that we use in a laboratory is generally sulfur flowers, i.e. `S_8`....

Explanation:

Of course when represent an oxidation reaction, we might usually write...

`Fe + S rarr FeS`, rather than `Fe+1/8S_8rarrFeS`....

or... `S(s) + PR_3(l) rarr S=PR_3(s)`

Avogadro's number of sulfur atoms has a mass of `32.06*g`.
