What is CSO2? Important knowledge about CSO2.

In today’s lecture, the teacher will introduce to students about an important chemical substance, which is CSO₂.

1. Definition of CSO₂: CSO₂, commonly known as carbon disulfide, has an atomic mass of 76.14 g/mol. The molecular structure consists of 1 carbon atom and 2 sulfur atoms. CSO₂ does not form ions in solution.

2. Properties of CSO₂: CSO₂ is a colorless liquid with a distinctive aroma and exists in a liquid state under normal conditions. The pH of the CSO₂ solution is undefined. The chemical properties of CSO₂ are very special, it can react with many different substances to form different chemical products.

3. Common chemical equations involving CSO₂: CSO₂ can react with metals, acids, non-metals, and salts to produce other substances. For example, when reacting with hydrochloric acid, CSO₂ forms disulphide dicarbonil and hydrochloride.

4. Preparation of CSO₂: CSO₂ can be prepared in the lab and industrially. In the lab, CSO₂ can be prepared from the reaction between lead charcoal and sulfur to form CSO₂ and water. In industry, CSO₂ is prepared from the reaction between methane and sulfur to form CSO₂ and water.
