Lead sulfide is a black solution. It is insoluble in water and is a precipitate. The principle of the lead acetate test is the formation of lead sulfide.
Lead(II) Sulfide = PbS Lead(IV) Sulfide = PbS2
Lead IV Sulfide is PbS2
Lead Sulfide is PbS.
lead(II) sulfide Sulfur has an oxidation number of 2. Cross then superscript S^2 down in front of lead and there ya go.
Lead sulfide is chemically notated as Pb(CH3COO)2.
PbS is not an element, it is a compound.Pb is lead and S is sulfur.The name of this compound is commonly known as Lead Sulfide.
In lead (II) sulfide (PbS), each lead ion is surrounded by six sulfide ions in a octahedral arrangement.
Lead acetate paper turns black in the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas. Hydrogen sulfide reacts with lead acetate to form lead sulfide, which is black in color. This reaction is commonly used as a test for the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas.
Lead (II) sulfide would contain one atom of lead per formula unit. Actually, now that I think about it, so would lead (IV) sulfide.
Pb (Lead) + S (Sulphur) -----> PbS (Lead Sulphide)
The dark colored substance formed when lead II acetate is added to a test solution is lead sulfide (PbS). This reaction is commonly used to detect the presence of hydrogen sulfide or sulfide ions in a solution, as lead sulfide is insoluble and forms a dark precipitate.
Galena is a lead sulfide - PbS.
