Does sodium bicarbonate react with hydrogen sulfide?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, does sodium bicarbonate react with hydrogen sulfide? I would appreciate advice from fellow sailors.
The first dissociation constant of hydrogen sulfide solution is smaller than that of carbonic acid; therefore, carbonic acid should be more acidic and no reaction should occur. Personal thoughts
The original poster can determine this through calculation, using the ionization constant of hydrogen sulfide and the ionization constant of bicarbonate, as well as the concentrations of these two substances
Dear, ammonium bicarbonate is generally used for desulfurization
There will be no reaction; on the contrary, heating will cause desorption
NaHCO3+H2S=NaHS+CO2+H2O
A bit confused; it means I can respond now
