To my knowledge sulfur alone doesn't react with water. However, to get sulfur dioxide...you would need to burn sulfur in air to get sulfur dioxide, but if you burn it in pure oxygen it will be a mixture of sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. Sulfur trioxide explodes on contact with water to form sulfuric acid (and i think also oxygen, not sure), same as sulfur dioxide but not as mush explosive power as sulfur trioxide.
If you really like chemical reactions such like this one then email me at watsonillya@yahoo.com
make sure the subject says "T.D.A. Info".
I have a whole list of reactive chemicals, the extraction of elements, and unstable and stable compounds.
