Answer to Question #26486 in Inorganic Chemistry for mike

Question

sulphur mixed with hydrogen sulphide what is result.

Answer 1

Nothing will happen if sulfur is mixed with hydrogen sulphide, but if sulfur is mixed with Na₂S and heated we'll have according to the equation

nS + Na₂S = Na₂S_(n+1)

And if the acid is added

Na₂S_(n+1) + 2HA = 2NaA + H₂S_(n+1)

where H₂S_(n+1) is hydrogen polysulphide
