Iron(II) Sulfide Precipitation

FeSO4 + Na2S → FeS↓ + Na2SO4

概述

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.

日常示例

The black spots in hard-boiled eggs at the yolk-white junction are iron sulfide, formed by reaction of iron in the yolk with sulfur from the egg white.

工业重要性

硫化亚铁在石油工业中作为酸性气体(H₂S)与铁设备的腐蚀产物大量出现,是套管、管道腐蚀失效的重要原因,也是陨磁铁矿(磁黄铁矿)的主要矿物。
