Melts at 108°C and burns with a blue flame and acrid fumes of SO 2 . Insoluble in water and acids, dissolves in carbon disulfide. Not really fun to play with as the fumes are noxious and its acid (sulfuric, H 2 SO 4 ) very corrosive. Sulfur's physical states are interesting, for it melts to an amber liquid and, as it gets hotter, turns black, then yellow again when still hotter. However, it is not recommended that such experiments be undertaken outside of a well-equipped laboratory; chemists' laboratories keep fumes under a vented hood.

Carbon Disulfide, but this is a very dangerous substance.
It silently kill kidney nephrons even at levels too small for the human nose to detect. Eventually you would have to go on a kidney machine prior to finding a donor kidney.
Regular fume hoods are not good enough, a separate lab in a separate building with special detection devices to monitor the air is needed.
Avoid using this, or working in a lab that regularly uses this, sometimes it is spelled a different way, formula is CS2.

Sulfur does not dissolve in water but some of its compounds do like Hydrogen Sulfide or Sulfur Dioxide.
If you want to dissolve the elemental sulfur you need to use CS2.
NOT TO WORRY. I have sworn off apples.

Way to go Alan Turing. Carbon Disulfide!
Don't eat that apple!
