  2. Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide

    Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 S.It is a colorless chalcogen-hydride gas, and is poisonous, corrosive, and flammable, with trace amounts in ambient atmosphere having a characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. [11]

  3. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    This is illustrated in the image here, where the balanced equation is: CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O. Here, one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen gas to yield one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water. This particular chemical equation is an example of complete combustion. Stoichiometry measures these ...

  4. Element–reactant–product table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element–reactant...

    An element–reaction–product table is used to find coefficients while balancing an equation representing a chemical reaction. Coefficients represent moles of a substance so that the number of atoms produced is equal to the number of atoms being reacted with. [1] This is the common setup: Element: all the elements that are in the reaction ...

  5. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction. [1]

  6. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

    A molecule is said to have a positive oxygen balance if it contains more oxygen than is needed and a negative oxygen balance if it contains less oxygen than is needed. [2] An explosive with a negative oxygen balance will lead to incomplete combustion, which commonly produces carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas. Explosives with negative or ...

  7. Claus process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_process

    This is a strongly exothermic free-flame total oxidation of hydrogen sulfide generating sulfur dioxide that reacts away in subsequent reactions. The most important one is the Claus reaction: 2 H 2 S + SO 2 → 3 S + 2 H 2 O. The overall equation is: [5] 2 H 2 S + O 2 → 2 S + 2 H 2 O. The temperature inside Claus furnace is often maintained ...

  8. Sulfur dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dioxide

    The combustion of hydrogen sulfide and organosulfur compounds proceeds similarly. For example: 2 H 2 S + 3 O 2 → 2 SO 2 + 2 H 2 O. The roasting of sulfide ores such as pyrite, sphalerite, and cinnabar (mercury sulfide) also releases SO 2: [20] 4 FeS 2 + 11 O 2 → 2 Fe 2 O 3 + 8 SO 2 2 ZnS + 3 O 2 → 2 ZnO + 2 SO 2

  9. Copper(I) sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(I)_sulfide

    Cu 2 S reacts with oxygen to form SO 2: [6] 2 Cu 2 S + 3 O 2 → 2 Cu 2 O + 2 SO 2. The production of copper from chalcocite is a typical process in extracting the metal from ores. Usually, the conversion involves roasting, to give Cu 2 O and sulfur dioxide: [6] Cu 2 S + O 2 → 2 Cu + SO 2. Cuprous oxide readily converts to copper metal upon ...
