What colour is As2S3 ?
« on: August 18, 2009, 08:34:29 AM »
My notes say it's orange,but I only remember getting an orange precipitate for Sb2S3 and (I think) a yellow precipitate for As2S3.
I've searched quite abit online but still no luck on the colour of arsenic sulphide.

Thank you.

Why didn't I think of that?
I've been reading through pages and pages of text when I could have easily used google images to find it. :-[

Anyway thank you very much for the info.
