Molecular formula H 2 S oxidation state of sulfur (-2). Covalent polar bond The hydrogen sulfide molecule has an angular shape, so it is polar. Unlike water molecules, the hydrogen atoms in the molecule do not form strong hydrogen bonds, which is why hydrogen sulfide is a gas.




In a free state, it is found in the composition of volcanic gases, in many springs of volcanic areas, it is part of volcanic ash in a dissolved and partly in a free state, hydrogen sulfide is found in the Black Sea, starting from a depth of 200 meters or more. Hydrogen sulfide is found in a dissolved and partly free state in the Black Sea, starting from a depth of 200 meters or more. it is formed in small quantities wherever decomposition or decay of organic matter occurs: it is present in mineral muds formed at the bottom of shallow salt lakes; in the form of mixed substances of oil and gas. For some microorganisms (sulfur bacteria), hydrogen sulfide is not a poison, but a nutrient. Assimilating hydrogen sulfide, they release free sulfur. Such deposits form at the bottom of lakes on the northern coast of Africa, in Cyrenaica near the city of Benghazi.

Physical properties of sulfur Hydrogen sulfide (hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen sulfide) is a colorless gas with the smell of rotten eggs and a sweetish taste. Poorly soluble in water, good in ethanol. Poisonous. Thermally unstable (at temperatures above 400 °C it decomposes into simple substances S and H2). Hydrogen sulfide is slightly soluble in water. At t = 20 º, 2.4 volumes of hydrogen sulfide are dissolved in one volume of water; this solution is called hydrogen sulfide water or weak hydrogen sulfide acid.

Effect of hydrogen sulfide on the environment and human health Very toxic. Inhalation of air containing hydrogen sulfide causes dizziness, headache, nausea, and with significant concentrations leads to coma, convulsions, pulmonary edema and even death. At high concentrations, a single inhalation can cause instant death. At small concentrations, adaptation to the unpleasant smell of “rotten eggs” occurs quite quickly, and it ceases to be felt. A sweetish metallic taste appears in the mouth. At high concentrations, due to paralysis of the olfactory nerve, the smell of hydrogen sulfide is not felt. At high concentrations, due to paralysis of the olfactory nerve, the smell of hydrogen sulfide is not felt.


Application. Hydrogen sulfide is of limited use due to its toxicity. In analytical chemistry, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen sulfide water are used as reagents for the precipitation of heavy metals, the sulfides of which are very slightly soluble. In medicine, as part of natural and artificial hydrogen sulfide baths, as well as in some mineral waters. Hydrogen sulfide is used to produce sulfuric acid, elemental sulfur, and sulfides. Used in organic synthesis to obtain thiophene and mercaptans. Colored sulfides serve as the basis for the manufacture of paints, including luminous ones. They are also used in analytical chemistry. Potassium, strontium and barium sulfides are used in tanning to remove wool from hides before tanning. Potassium, strontium and barium sulfides are used in tanning to remove wool from hides before tanning. In recent years, the possibility of using hydrogen sulfide accumulated in the depths of the Black Sea as energy (hydrogen sulfide energy) and chemical raw materials has been considered.

Being in nature

Occurs naturally in petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gas and in hot springs.

Properties

Thermally unstable (at temperatures above 400 °C it decomposes into simple substances - S and H2), a poisonous gas heavier than air with an unpleasant odor of rotten eggs. The hydrogen sulfide molecule has an angular shape, so it is polar (μ = 0.34 10-29 C m). Unlike water molecules, hydrogen sulfide molecules do not form strong hydrogen bonds, which is why H2S is a gas. A saturated aqueous solution of H2S is hydrosulfide acid.

Receipt

  • In the laboratory it is usually obtained by the action of dilute acids on sulfides: FeS + 2HCl = FeCl2 + H2S
  • Or when adding water to aluminum sulfide: Al2S3 + H2O = 2Al(OH)3 + H2S (the reaction differs in the purity of the resulting hydrogen sulfide)

Application

  • Hydrogen sulfide is of limited use due to its toxicity.
  • In analytical chemistry, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen sulfide water are used as a reagent for the precipitation of heavy metals, the sulfides of which are very poorly soluble
  • In medicine - as part of hydrogen sulfide baths
  • Hydrogen sulfide is used to produce sulfuric acid, elemental sulfur, sulfides
  • Used in organic synthesis to obtain thiophene and mercaptans
  • In recent years, the possibility of using hydrogen sulfide accumulated in the depths of the Black Sea as an energy and chemical raw material has been considered.

Toxicology

  • Very toxic. At high concentrations, a single inhalation can cause instant death. At small concentrations, adaptation to the unpleasant smell of “rotten eggs” occurs quite quickly, and it ceases to be felt. A sweetish metallic taste appears in the mouth
  • At high concentrations it is odorless.
