Preparation of sulfur
You could react the CaS with H2O2, much simpler.

8CaS + 8H2O2 --> 8Ca(OH)2 + S8

Extracting magnesium metal from its salts
CO2 cannot be used instead of CO; the CO2 will oxidize the magnesium metal.

Mg + CO2 + heat --> M ...

Nitrating with NH4NO3 and HCl
Nope. Here's why: hexamine is a basic organic compound, it forms salts with acids. Hexamine is (CH2) ...

Intriguing, thanks for that link!

I still think this reaction would occur:

2ClO2 + H2O --> HCl ...
