When molten sulphur is suddenly cooled by pouring into water, it takes the form of :
- A. Milk of sulphur.
- B. Colloidal sulphur
- C. Flower of sulphur.
- D. Plastic sulphur.
Step-by-step solution
When molten sulphur is suddenly cooled by pouring into water, it forms an amorphous, elastic mass known as plastic sulphur. This is due to the rapid cooling preventing crystallization, resulting in a non-crystalline form. Other forms like milk of sulphur (colloidal), colloidal sulphur, and flower of sulphur (sublimed) are obtained by different methods.
