Detailed information about the equation ZnS + H2O2 -> ZnSO4 + H2O
This equation describes the oxidation reaction of zinc sulfide (ZnS) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and water (H2O). -
Reaction conditions
This reaction usually occurs at room temperature. The reaction may occur faster at higher temperatures. -
Reaction process
ZnS reacts with H2O2 to produce ZnSO4 and H2O. Zinc sulfide (ZnS) is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), producing zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and water (H2O). -
Phenomenon occurs
When the reaction occurs, you will see a change in the color of the mixture. The white-colored solid of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) will appear. If the reaction is carried out under suitable conditions, water (H2O) will vaporize.
