It’s a solid material. Sulfur’s melting point is on 112.8°C, and it’s boiling point is on 444.6°C. It’s insoluble in water, but is soluble in carbon disulfide. It’s atomic weight is 32.066, but it’s density is 2.070 g/cc. The evaporation heat, which is the heat that will make Sulfur evaporate is 10.5 kJ/mol. It is also said that Sulfur is in the Chalcogen group. Source: http://kriste11er.com/school_work/07-08/science/mineral_project/image/sulfur.jpg Click to go back to main menu
