Hydrogen-sulphur

Whereas some atoms have only one valency, others have several, e.g. sulphur has valencies of two, four and six and can form compounds as diverse as hydrogen sulphide, H2S (valency two), sulphur dioxide, SO2 (valency four) and sulphur hexafluoride, SF6 (valency six). Clearly some compounds comprise more than two different elements. Thus hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen can combine to produce sulphuric acid, H2SO4. From the structure it can be seen that hydrogen maintains its valency of one, oxygen two and sulphur is in a six valency state.

The data for the carbon, hydrogen, sulphur and specific surface area for all four catalysts are summarised in Table VI. Only the sulphur contents of the Mo-containing catalysts showed any dependence on repeat contact. The sulphur content increased with contact number, reflecting gr al sulphidation of the metal content. For the ZriW catalyst, the sulphur content reached a relatively constant value after the first contact, the value corresponding to sulphidation of the Zn content only, suggesting that the level of H2S produced by desulphurisation was inadequate to cause sulfidation of the metal content...

The second part of the Traite consists mainly of tables of nomenclature of the compounds of these simple substances with oxygen, hydrogen, sulphur, and of their salts which are formed with all the known acids, inorganic or organic, together with such observations and comment upon the tables as is needed render them clear to the reader. 

Catalytic hydrodesulphurisation. This is a process in which, in the presence of hydrogen, sulphur is removed as hydrogen sulphide. 

Acetylene.—The spark acts, as already mentioned, by reason of its high temperature which, according to Berthelot, is sufficient to produce acetylene from a mixture of carbon disulphide and hydrogen, sulphur being precipitated. 

Reduction of Ferric Salts.—The reverse reactions, namely conversion of ferric salts into ferrous, are likewise easily effected by means of the usual reducing agents, such as nascent hydrogen, sulphur dioxide, etc. By the introduction of zinc into an acidified solution of a ferric salt, reduction is rapidly caused. Excess of acid slightly retards the reaction.4 This affords a convenient method of volumetrically determining the presence of ferric iron, the solution after reduction being titrated with permanganate. 

It does not react appreciably with sulphur dioxide at dull redness.13 Raised to white heat in a current of hydrogen sulphide, it yields ferrous sulphide, accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen, sulphur dioxide, and a little sulphur trioxide.14...

The cost of the fermentation medium becomes a critical factor upon scale-up. The best growth medium may not always be the most economical and the cheapest not always optimal for production. The constituents of the medium must reflect the composition of the biomass, which mainly comprises carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulphur, magnesium, potassium, and trace elements. The raw materials for the...

In principle, GC elemental analysis can be used for the determination of elements other than carbon, hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen. Some methods have been described in the literature, although they are not as elaborate as those for the determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen. The perfection of methods for determining elements other than those mentioned above and the development of appropriate instrumentation are one of the most important problems in chemistry today.

The law of equivalent proportions states that if two elementsAand B each form a compound with a third element C, then a compound of A and B will contain A and B in the relative proportions in which they react with C. For example, sulphur and carbon both form compounds with hydrogen. In methane 12 g of carbon react with 4 g of hydrogen. In hydrogen sulphide, 32 g of sulphur react with 2 g of hydrogen (i.e. 64 g of S for 4 g of hydrogen). Sulphur and carbon form a compound in which the C S ratio is 1234 (i.e. CS2). The law is sometimes called the law of reciprocal proportions. 

A series of acids based on hydrogen, sulphur and trivalent phosphorus are possible in principle, although in practice they are only encountered in the form of their esters. Like their oxy analogues (Chapter 6) they exist in equilibrium with tetrahedral forms (9.412) through (9.414). 

Almost all organic chemicals and mixtures whether in the solid, liquid or gaseous state are flammable so they are potential fuels. Examples of these include wood, paper, plastics, fibres, petrol, oil, LPG, coal, and living tissue. Most but not all inorganic substances are not flammable and hence are not potential fuels. Exceptions to this are hydrogen, sulphur, phosphorus, magnesium, titanium and aluminium.
