Hi John,
nice hobby you have!
In principle you can convert every oxide into the sulphate, but if it comes
to the real world things are not so easy anymore.
The problem a normal person will have with this "conversion" is that you
have oxygen in the air. If you do a reaction, you have to heat it in almost
every case. But if you heat it and there is oxygen in the atmosphere, you
will always get the oxides - and in this special case you will also get
molecules of SO2 or something similar.
What you need will certainly be vacuum or an atmosphere with an inert gas
(nitrogen or so, something that doesn't react so easily), and probably you
don't have the stuff for reactions under inert gases at home (just an
assumption), so I think you have to invest that money and buy the
sulphates...
But what is the actual case, what do you want to convert? Maybe there is
another solution, a little bit easier. Just mail me, you find the address
in the header.
Bye,
Andreas
