Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the search-in-place domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Chemical Properties of H2S — Chemistry Keypoint

Chemical Properties of H2S

1. It reacts with oxygen to form water and sulphur (iv) oxide but in limited supply of oxygen, it forms water and sulphur.
2H2S(g) + 3O2(g) → 2H2O(L) + 2SO2(g)

2H2S(g) + O2(g)  →  2H2O(L)+ 2S(s)

2. It acts as an acid – It acts as acid to form a weak, dibasic acid.
2NaOH(aq) + H2S(g) →  Na2S(aq) + 2H2O(L)

3. As a reducing agent – It reduces oxidizing agents leaving traces of yellow deposits of sulphur.
KMnO4(aq) + 3H2SO4(aq) + 5H2S(g) →  K2SO4(aq) + 2MnSO4(aq) + 8H2O(L) + 5S(s)

4. As a precipitating agent – It reacts with lead (ii) trioxonitrate (v) salts to precipitate block lead (ii) Sulphide.
Pb(NO3)2(aq) + H2S(g) →  PbS(s) + 2HNO3(aq)

NB: This is a test for hydrogen sulphide.
