IRON MONOSULFIDE - Reference Information
| EPA chemical information | Information provided by: ofmpub.epa.gov (external link) |
| Iron sulfide compound | Ferrous sulfide is a compound formed by two elements of sulfur and iron. It is dark brown or black block-like crystals or particles. The bulk has a metallic luster. The relative density is 4.74 and the melting point is 1193~1199 ℃. Insoluble in ammonia, insoluble in water, soluble in dilute acid, releasing toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. In humid air, it is gradually oxidized to ferric oxide and sulfur. In its crystal structure, the sulfur atoms are hexagonal close-packed, the iron atoms are surrounded by 6 sulfur atoms at the apex angle, forming an octahedral structure, and the sulfur atoms are in 6 at the apex angle of the tripartite prism. The iron atoms are surrounded. The coordination number of iron and sulfur atoms is 6, and the atomic number ratio is 1:1. Ferrous sulfide can be obtained by adding alkali metal sulfide to the divalent iron salt. Industrial iron filings and sulfur powder are mixed and prepared by high temperature reaction in a high vacuum quartz sealed tube. In the laboratory, it is mainly used to prepare hydrogen sulfide gas and use it as an analytical reagent. It is used in industry to make ceramics, paints and pigments. It is also used to make other ferrous salts. At high temperatures, ferrous sulfide can be oxidized to iron oxides or sulfates by oxygen or ozone; it can be reduced to elemental iron by carbon or metallic manganese. Ferrous sulfide dissolves in oxidizing acid to form ferric salt and sulfur, sulfur dioxide or sulfuric acid; dissolves in non-oxidizing acid to form divalent iron salt and hydrogen sulfide. |

| preparation method | ferrous sulfide is obtained by eutectic (1000 ℃) of iron and sulfur in a high vacuum quartz sealed pipe or by adding soluble sulfide to neutral or alkaline ferrous salt solution. |
| eggs should not be cooked for a long time | eggs are rich in nutrition. cooking eggs is the simplest and best way to maintain their nutrition. however, it is necessary to master the temperature and time if the eggs are cooked properly, both hardness and hardness are moderate and not raw. If the egg is boiled for too long, the ferrous ions in the egg yolk will combine with the sulfur ions in the protein to form a substance called ferrous sulfide, which is difficult to be absorbed and utilized by the human body, thereby reducing The nutritional value of eggs. Therefore, it is not appropriate to boil eggs for too long. The best way is to put the eggs in a pot with cold water and boil them for another 5 minutes. |
| Use | Used as analytical reagent Laboratory preparation of hydrogen sulfide, ceramic industry. |
