Sodium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula Na2S, or more commonly its hydrate Na2S¡¤9H2O. Both are colorless water-soluble salts that give strongly alkaline solutions. When exposed to moist air, Na2S and its hydrates emit hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Some commercial samples are specified as Na2S¡¤xH2O, where a weight percentage of Na2S is specified. Commonly available grades have around 60% Na2S by weight, which means that x is around 3. Such technical grades of sodium sulfide have a yellow appearance owing to the presence of polysulfides. These grades of sodium sulfide are marketed as 'sodium sulfide flakes'. Although the solid is yellow, solutions of it are colorless.
Structure Na2S adopts the antifluorite structure, which means that the Na+ centers occupy sites of the fluoride in the CaF2 framework, and the larger S2&©|8722; occupy the sites for Ca2+.
Production Industrially Na2S is produced by carbothermic reduction of sodium sulfate often using coal:
Na2SO4 + 2 C ¡ú Na2S + 2 CO2
In the laboratory, the salt can be prepared by reduction of sulfur with sodium in anhydrous ammonia. Alternatively, sulfur can be reduced by sodium in dry THF with a catalytic amount of naphthalene:
2 Na + S ¡ú Na2S
Sodium sulfide can also be produced by the reaction with sodium cyanide and sulfuric acid, however, toxic hydrogen cyanide is formed in the process.
Reactions with inorganic reagents The dissolution process can be described as follows:
Na2S + H2O ¡ú NaHS + NaOH
Sodium sulfide can oxidize when heated to sodium carbonate and sulfur dioxide:
2 Na2S + 3 O2 + 2 CO2 ¡ú 2 Na2CO3 + 2 SO2
Oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gives sodium sulfate:
2 Na2S + 4 H2O2 ¡ú 4 H2O + Na2SO4
Upon treatment with sulfur, polysulfides are formed:
2Na2S + S8 ¡ú 2 Na2S5
Uses Sodium sulfide is primarily used in pulp and paper industry in the Kraft process.
It is used in water treatment as an oxygen scavenger agent and also as a metals precipitant, in chemical photography for toning black and white phot |
