(i) Prepare sulphur dioxide by burning sulphur in air. Put powdered sulphur in a porcelain jar;
ignite it and collecting the gas formed in a funnel. Aspirate the gas into a bottle containing
water.
(ii) Prepare sulphur dioxide in a generator which allows dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid
to drip slowly on to sodium sulphate. The acid is contained in a thistle funnel and a tap
controls the flow on to sodium sulphite in a suitable flask. The sulphur dioxide produced can
be collected in gas jars covered with cardboard discs, which have central holes for the
delivery tube.
