PPE - glasses PPP - open windows

-apron - hair tied back - close toed shoes Equipment - bunsen burner - weigh boat - scoopula - deflagrating spoon - 250mL beaker - 100mL graduated cylinder - parafin wax paper - glass cover - 100mL water - granular sulfur

Objective: Create an acid out of the element sulfur

Procedure 1.) Pour 100 mL of water into a beaker and cover halfway with paraffin paper. 2.) Fill a deflagrated spoon approximately a quarter-way full of granular sulphur. 3.) Hold over top of hot flame until sulphur melts, then ignites. 4.) Place deflagrated spoon in beaker, being careful not to submerge the burning sulphur. 5.) Quickly cover the other half of the beaker with more paraffin or a glass cover. 6.) Remove the deflagrated spoon as quickly as possible so little gas escapes. 7.) Shake beaker vigorously to mix gas and water OR let sit over night. 8.) Test solution with litmus paper to determine if product is acidic.
