The above chemical equation shows the reaction process between sodium sulfide (Na2S) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to produce 2 new substances: sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
- Reaction conditions:
The reaction occurs under normal temperature and pressure conditions.
- Reaction Process:
- Step 1: Sodium sulfide (Na2S) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) react with each other.
- Step 2: The reaction process occurs to produce two new substances: sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
- Phenomena occurring:
During the reaction process, the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S), a gas with a distinctive foul smell, can be observed. This gas escapes from the solution, leaving behind a solution of sodium bisulfate.
