CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description Hydrogen sulfide appears as a colorless gas having a strong odor of rotten eggs. Boiling point -60.2 °C. Shipped as a liquid confined under its own vapor pressure. Density (liquid) 8.3 lb / gal. Contact with the unconfined liquid can cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Gas is very toxic by inhalation. Fatigues the sense of smell which cannot be counted on to warn of the continued presence of the gas. Prolonged exposure of closed containers to heat may result in their violent rupturing and rocketing. Rate of onset: Immediate & Delayed Persistence: Minutes to hours Odor threshold: 0.1 ppm Source/use/other hazard: Disinfectant lubricant/oils; interm for HC manufacture; deadens sense of smell.
Color/Form Colorless gas [Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas].
Odor Strong odor of rotten eggs [Note: Sense of smell becomes rapidly fatigued & can NOT be relied upon to warn of the continuous presense of hydrogen sulfide].
Taste Sweetish taste
Boiling Point -76.59 °F at 760 mmHg (EPA, 1998)
Melting Point -121.9 °F (EPA, 1998)
Flash Point 500 °F
Solubility 0.4 % (NIOSH, 2023)
Density 0.916 at -76 °F (EPA, 1998) - Less dense than water; will float
Vapor Density 1.19 (EPA, 1998) - Heavier than air; will sink (Relative to Air)
Vapor Pressure 15200 mmHg at 77.9 °F (EPA, 1998)
Henry's Law Constant Henry's law constant = 0.0098 atm-cu m/mole at 25 °C
Stability/Shelf Life Water solns of H2S are not stable, absorbed oxygen causes the formation of elemental sulfur, and the solns become turbid rapidly.
Autoignition Temperature 500 °F (USCG, 1999)
Decomposition When heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of /oxides of sulfur/.
Viscosity Gas at 101.325 KPa at 25 °C; 0.012 8 m Pa.S; 0.012 8 cP.
Corrosivity Anhydrous hydrogen sulfide has low general corrosivity toward carbon steel, aluminum, Inconel, Stellite and 300-series stainless steels at moderate temperatures. Temperatures greater than ca 260 °C can produce severe sulfidation of carbon steel. Wet hydrogen sulfide can be quite corrosive to carbon steel.
Heat of Vaporization Molar enthalpy of vaporization: 14.08 kJ/mol at 25 °C; 18.67 kJ/mol at -59.55 °C
pH pH freshly prepared water soln: 4.5

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

description

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. It can also result from bacterial breakdown of organic matter. It is also produced by human and animal wastes. Bacteria found in your mouth and gastrointestinal tract produce hydrogen sulfide from bacteria decomposing materials that contain vegetable or animal proteins. Hydrogen sulfide can also result from industrial activities, such as food processing, coke ovens, kraft paper mills, tanneries, and petroleum refineries. Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, colorless gas with a characteristic odor of rotten eggs. It is commonly known as hydrosulfuric acid, sewer gas, and stink damp. People can smell it at low levels.
