Hey All,

So, I recently (unsuccessfully) tried a dehydration reaction on Table Sugar and Sulfuric Acid (My acid isn't concentrated enough but that's another story). Anyway, it didn't work, and I didn't want to waste the acid, so I neutralized it with Baking Soda to make a stable compound Na2SO4, so now, I am wondering what process I could take to convert that into a precipitating compound, or elemental sulfur in general. Vague, I know, but it's fun enough to play.

Thanks a bunch

Crystallization?

maybe you will get
Mirabilite
Na₂SO₄·10H₂O

I think you'll find that elemental sulfur ks hard to get from where you're starting.  But you can dry the liquid and get sodium sulfate back.  You can Google, or search our forum to something to do with that.
