Sodium bisulfide
Terminology and Properties
In addition to the primary common name "acid sodium sulfide", sodium hydrosulfide may also be called sodium bisulfide in certain industrial fields or regions. This name directly reflects its molecular composition: it consists of sodium ions (Na⁺) and hydrogen sulfide ions (HS⁻). However, "sodium bisulfide" is not as widely recognized or commonly used as "acid sodium sulfide" in daily practice.
To fully understand these common names, let’s briefly review the basic properties of sodium hydrosulfide. It is an inorganic compound with the formula NaHS. Under standard temperature and pressure, it typically appears as colorless needle-like crystals, or as pale yellow to gray lumps, flakes, or powders. Pure sodium hydrosulfide is deliquescent, soluble in water and alcohols, and its aqueous solution is prone to oxidation and deterioration when exposed to air. These physical and chemical characteristics also explain why it is called "acid sodium sulfide": its chemical behavior indeed lies between sodium sulfide and hydrogen sulfide, with a certain "intermediate" character.
