Cadmium Sulfide Precipitation (Yellow)

CdCl2 + Na2S → CdS↓ + 2NaCl

概述

Cadmium chloride reacts with sodium sulfide to form a bright yellow precipitate of cadmium sulfide (Ksp = 8 × 10⁻²⁷). CdS is known as cadmium yellow and was historically an important artist's pigment. The brilliant yellow color is due to its 2.4 eV bandgap.
