Hydrosulfuric Acid Formula

Hydrogen Sulfide Formula 

In our environment, various kinds of living and non-living being species exist, and such species have been made up of different kinds of substances. When we are going to study the anatomy of living beings then we can see, that various kinds of materials are available in their body. Like minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates as well as some acidic substances too, Actually these acids are helpful for them to get digest food.

Such kinds of acids do not only exist in living bodies, also it is available in nature in vast quantities. Actually, acids which are existing in living beings’ bodies are not that concentrated as compared to other acids which are existing in nature.

Here one thing is important neither all acids are harmful to living being nor all of them are concentrated. Even such acids we can categorize according to their chemical and physical properties.

Here in this article, you are going to know about one acid and its chemical formula. Which is a compound material of hydrogen and sulfur and is well known by the name “Hydrosufuric Acid”.

Hydrosulfuric Acid Formula – Chemical Formula and Properties

Physical Properties Of Hydrosulfuric Acid

Hydrosulfuric acid is a chemical compound material made up of hydrogen and sulpher, it is also known as hydrogen sulfide or sulfane. It is a colorless gaseous substance that has a smell like a rotten egg.

It is obtained in nature by various kinds of activity like as through bacterial and microbial breakdown into organic substances in the absence of oxygen gas. Also, it occurs during crude oil mining into petrol.

During the volcano, hydrogen sulfide evolved and throw out into nature, While human beings threw out some hydrogen sulfide through wastage material.

This acid is corrosive and highly flammable in nature, also it is very toxic.

‘Hydrosulfuric Acid’ Formula

The Structural Formula of Hydrosulfuric acid is H2S, While some factors make this acid somewhere weak or strong.

Hydrogen sulfide is soluble in the water and that action makes this acid a weak acid. For example, when this acid going to dissolve into the water we can get a below-given chain reaction.

Hydrosulfuric Acid Formula in Aqueous Solution

Normally when into some gas containing hydrogen molecule in the absence of oxygen molecule, which is dissolving into water it is called an acid. and it starts with the prefix ‘hydro’ and suffix ‘ic’.

For Example when ‘HCL’ dissolves into the water is called a ‘Hydrochloric Acid’. Also when ‘HCN’ dissolves into water it is known as a Hydrocyanic Acid.

Same here, when, H2S gas is dissolving into water it is called Hydrosulfuric Acid and its aqueous formula is H2S (Aqueous).

Uses of Hydrofluoric Acid

1. As this acid is highly toxic so it is mostly going to use in the agriculture sector as a disinfectant.
2. This acid is used for the production of sulfuric acid and sulfur.
3. It is also used in the pharmaceuticals and pesticides industry.
4. Using into dyes and leather industry.
5. In the nuclear plant, this acid is going to use to produce heavy water.

Chemical Properties Of “Hydrogen Sulfide”

Actually, hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air, it is a flammable gas so when it catches fire then blue color flame going to produce. When this gas is dissolving into water it is known as “Hydrosulfuric Acid”.

In this way we can say, The aqueous H2S is a “Hydrosulfuric acid” and adding more n more water into this solution will be converted into weak hydrosulfuric acid.

Conclusion:

Hydrogen sulfide is a gaseous state substance, when it is going to dissolve into water it will become a “Hydrosulfuric Acid”. The basic structural formula of this acid is H2S, and in chemical science or chemistry, this is well known and useful acid.

Hope you have well understood this whole concept, as well as this information, will be so much helpful for you.
