NaHS
« on: April 20, 2010, 07:38:53 AM »
could NaHS be produced by the following equation with mole ratio HCl:Na2S = 1:1?
HCl + Na2S -->NaHS + NaCl

or

How can I produce a standardized HS- solution in lab?

This is tricky, HS- is a relatively strong base so it will react further with water. You will have to control pH to be sure what you have in solution.

Why do you need HS-?

I am going to analyse the amount of hydrogen sulphide in river water by potentiometric titration with HS- with known concentration (at pH13) against the sample water (also at pH13) using the Ag/AgCl and Ag/Ag2S ISE but I don't know how to make a HS- solution with known concentration.
I don't know much about the experiment so i am afraid there will be some problems cropped up :-X :-X :-X

If you start with Na2S solution and you add enough base (NaOH) to keep it at pH 13, concentration of HS- can be calculated using equation 9.13:
