    about 327 g of sulfur

    Explanation:

    Reaction equations.

    2S + 2O2 = 2SO2

    2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3

    2SO3 + 2H2O = 2H2SO4

    1.00 kg H2SO4 (1000 g H2SO4 / 1kg H2SO4) x (1 mole H2SO4 / 98.079 g H2SO4) x

    (1 mole S / 1 mole H2SO4) x (32.065 g S / 1 mole S)

    = 326.93 g S needed to be burned to produce 1.00 kg of H2SO4
