Question

Is hydrogen sulfide an acid?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical formula (${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{S}$).

1. It is a weak acid that dissolves in water and produces the hydrosulfide ion ${\mathrm{HS}}^{-}$.
2. Therefore, ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{S}$ is also called hydro sulfuric acid.

Hence, hydrogen sulfide is an acid.
