Detailed information about the equation K2S + O2 + H2O -> 2KHSO4
This chemical equation illustrates the reaction process between Potassium sulfide (K2S) with Oxygen (O2) and Water (H2O) to produce Potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4). The number of atoms of each type of element in this chemical equation has been balanced. -
Reaction conditions
This reaction takes place at high temperatures and pressure. -
Reaction process
When the temperature and pressure are high enough, Potassium sulfide (K2S) will react with Oxygen (O2) and Water (H2O) to produce Potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4). This reaction is a redox reaction, where the sulfide (S) is oxidized to sulfate (SO4) and Oxygen (O2) is reduced to water (H2O). -
Occurrences
When the reaction occurs, the reaction product Potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4) will appear as a white solid.
