  2. Microbial oxidation of sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_oxidation_of_sulfur

    The fractionations of oxygen produced by sulfur disproportionation from elemental sulfur have been found to be higher, with reported values from 8 to 18.4‰, which suggests a kinetic isotope effect in the pathways involved in oxidation of elemental sulfur to sulfate, although more studies are necessary to determine what are the specific steps ...

  3. Peroxymonosulfuric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peroxymonosulfuric_acid

    Peroxymonosulfuric acid, also known as persulfuric acid, peroxysulfuric acid is the inorganic compound with the formula H 2 SO 5. It is a white solid. It is a component of Caro's acid, which is a solution of peroxymonosulfuric acid in sulfuric acid containing small amounts of water. [4] Peroxymonosulfuric acid is a very strong oxidant (E 0 = +2 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Sulfur-reducing bacteria - Wikipedia

    SO 24 + 4H 2 → H 2 S + 2H 2 O + 2OH −. Sulfide Oxidation. Under aerobic conditions, sulfide is oxidized to sulfur and then sulfate by sulfur oxidizing bacteria, such as Thiobacillus, Beggiatoa and many others. Under anaerobic conditions, sulfide can be oxidized to sulfur and then sulfate by Purple and Green sulfur bacteria. H 2 S → S ...

    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 ...

  7. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

    Molecular models of the different molecules active in Piranha solution: peroxysulfuric acid (H 2 SO 5) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). Piranha solution, also known as piranha etch, is a mixture of sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). The resulting mixture is used to clean organic residues off substrates, for example ...

  8. Sulfoxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfoxylic_acid

    Sulfoxylic acid contains sulfur in an oxidation state of +2. Sulfur monoxide (SO) can be considered as a theoretical anhydride for sulfoxylic acid, but it is not actually known to react with water. [3] The complementary base is the sulfoxylate anion SO 22 which is much more stable. In between these states is the HSO − 2 ion, also somewhat ...

  9. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    [7]: 1027 An example is S 2 N 2 where four resonance formulas featuring one S=N double bond have oxidation states +2 and +4 for the two sulfur atoms, which average to +3 because the two sulfur atoms are equivalent in this square-shaped molecule.
