The difference in states between water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at room temperature is due to differences in their molecular structures and intermolecular forces. Water molecules form stronger hydrogen bonds which result in a liquid state. Hydrogen sulfide molecules have weaker van der Waals forces, leading to a gas state at room temperature.

What is the equation for photosynthesis using CO2 and H2S?

It is not using H2S gas. It is using H2O liquid.


Why H2O is liquid and H2S is gas?

Water (H2O) is a liquid at room temperature because of its strong hydrogen bonding, which gives it a higher boiling point compared to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Hydrogen sulfide is a gas at room temperature due to weaker van der Waals forces between its molecules, resulting in lower boiling point leading to its gaseous state.


Is H2O a liquid state?

Yes, H2S can be found in a liquid state, even though it is usually a gas. However, it is not easily detected because it is colorless, and physical contact with it can cause frostbite.


How can one distinguish between the gases H2 and NO2?

H2 is odorless, while H2S has a foul odor resembling rotten eggs. H2 rises to the ceiling, while H2S sinks to the floor. H2 is harmless, while H2S is poisonous. H2 is not corrosive, while H2S is. Colder than -70°C, H2 is still gas, while H2S is liquid.


Is H2S O2 equal to S H2O?

No, H2S and O2 are not equal to S and H2O. H2S is hydrogen sulfide, O2 is oxygen gas, S is sulfur, and H2O is water. The equation for the reaction between H2S and O2 to form S and H2O is 2H2S + 3O2 → 2S + 2H2O.


Is hydrogen sulphide a liquid?

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a gas at room temperature.


Why the conc h2so4 cant be used in preparation oh h2s?

h2so4 being good oxidising agent oxidises the h2s to h2o and free sulphur.so conc h2so4 cant be used in preparation of h2s gas


What volumes of h2s gas and oxygen are necessary to produce 14.2 l of sulfur dioxide gas the balanced equation is 2 h2s 3 o2 2 so2 2 H2O?

Using the balanced chemical equation, you can see that 2 moles of H2S will produce 2 moles of SO2. Therefore, 1 mole of H2S will produce 1 mole of SO2. Given that 14.2 L of SO2 gas is produced, you would need the same volume of H2S gas. For oxygen, the ratio of H2S to O2 is 3:2, so 1.5 times the volume of H2S gas is needed in O2 gas.


Who has the most polar bond H2O H2S H2?

H2 molecule is the least polar. Between H2O and H2S, the most polar will be H2O as oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur.


Balance this equation lioh plus h2s equals li2so4 plus H2O?

Why the structure of H2S and H2O so similar?

h2so4


When h2s burn it conver into which gas?

When hydrogen sulfide (H2S) burns, it is oxidized to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas.
