Detailed explanation-1: -Mineral sulfur is a widely used ingredient to form cross-links between the rubber chains in the vulcanization process. During compounding, a high elastic state of sulfur at temperatures between 40°C and 70°C promotes elongation of its particles and, next, breaking these thin and weak needles into pieces.
Detailed explanation-2: -When heated, the sulfur ignites first, which in turn burns the charcoal fuel, raising the temperature to the point that it literally tears the nitrate molecules apart, releasing the oxygen which aids the combustion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sulfur is commonly used to create sulfuric acid, which is used in a number of different industries. Specifically, sulfuric acid is used to make fertilizers and lead-acid batteries. As well, sulfur is used in the production or inorganic chemicals, matches, explosives, cement, and glass.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sulphur is used in matchbox, fireworks and gunpowder as it reacts very readily.
