Would Sulphur disproportionate in ACIDIC CONDITIONS
Accepted Answer
Yes, sulfur can disproportionate in acidic conditions. The reaction involves the formation of both a higher and lower oxidation state of sulfur. For example, in the reaction of sulfur with concentrated nitric acid, sulfur is oxidized to sulfuric acid (S+6) and reduced to sulfur dioxide (S+4).
