Iron(II) Sulfide Precipitation

FeSO4 + Na2S → FeS↓ + Na2SO4

概要

Iron(II) sulfate reacts with sodium sulfide to form a black precipitate of iron(II) sulfide (Ksp = 6 × 10⁻¹⁸). FeS reacts with dilute acids to produce hydrogen sulfide gas with its characteristic rotten egg smell. The mineral form is troilite, found in meteorites.
