H2S -when dissolved in water- is able to partially donate protons to a water molecule, making it weakly acidic.

Why h2s is acidic and h2o is neutral?
H2S is only acidic in reference to water(!). Of coarse H2O is neutral referred to water because it is the S A M E .Even water can be both acid A N D base at the same time, though a bit weaker acidic than H2S, but a bit more stronger base.
What is H2S an acid base or salt?
it is a gas which in water shows the acidic property.
Is h2s gas acidic in nature?
Yes, it is mildly acidic.
Is H2S acidic?
Yes,it is acidic.But a weak acid.
Is h2s a strong electrolyte?
No, carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid, as it only partially dissociates in water solution. Thus, it is not a strong electrolyte.

Is there ever any damage with H2S gas?
Yes - nearly always. H2S is a toxic gas and quite corrosive - slightly acidic.
Why did water and H2S look alike?

How mdea absorbs h2s and CO2?
MDEA is a base and H2S/CO2 are acids in water
Why rain is acidic?
Atmospheric water droplets can absorb gases and dust from the atmosphere. Natural carbon dioxide from the atmosphere turns into carbonic acid, a mild acid, when it dissolves in water. This gives all rain water a slight amount of acidity. In some industrial areas, H2S gas from fossil fuels can oxidize into sulfuric acid and make rain even more acidic, but all rain is mildly acidic from C02.
Is HSe non-polar or polar?
Hydrogen selenide (formula correctly written: H2Se) is polar, weakly acidic, soluble in water. (Its look-alike H2S is three times less in all these properties).
Is H2S an ionic bond?
Pure H2S has predominantly covalent bonds. In solution in water, however, H2S readily ionizes to produce hydrogen cations and sulfide anions.
Can anions be classified as acidic or basic?
Anions of acids are (at least) basic(eg. CH3COO- + H+ --> CH3COOH)but some anions are amphoteric, so partially acidic and partially basic(eg. acidic: HS- --> S2- + H+ ,and basic: HS- + H+ --> H2S)
