Bisulfide

Bisulfide (systematically named sulfanide and hydrogen(sulfide)(1−)) is an inorganic anion with the chemical formula HS− (also written as SH−). It contributes no color to bisulfide salts, and its salts may have a distinctive putrid smell. It is classified as a strong base, bisulfide solutions are corrosive and attack the skin.HS− +  H+ → H2S    (1)HS− + H2O ↽ − ⇀ {displaystyle {ce {<<=>}}} H2S +  OH−    (2)2 HS− → H2S + S2−    (3) Bisulfide (systematically named sulfanide and hydrogen(sulfide)(1−)) is an inorganic anion with the chemical formula HS− (also written as SH−).
