How to make Iron (II) Sulfide

In this video i'm showing how to make Iron (II) Sulfide (FeS) by the element sulfur and black iron powder...
The reaction are pretty easy Fe + S == FeS (The easy way ^_-)
Warning! In this reaction dangerous sulfide gases are produced, safety should be taken!
You have been warned!!
Enjoy and comment on if you wonder =D
Iron sulfide can also be found in nature, and you can easily recognized by tis yellow/gold-like color.

Actually, the iron sulfide in nature is different from what you made here. Natural pyrite is FeS2, whereas what you made is FeS.

@MathDoobler hmm, I din't know, thanks for saying :)

[ErikDIY]

@Bilbo940 hmm... should probably edit it....

thanks for sharing :)

But SO2 can be further oxidized from SO2 to H2SO4, witch will make "acid rain" it happens usually in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2... ( its a problem when it comes to fossil burning, since the fossil oil contain a large amount of sulfur)

If i'm not wrong?? =D

Yeah, i made some H2S and it did smell like hell! It sure makes a warning to you..

@ErikDIY np, but just so you know, sulfur dioxide is not a sulfide its a sulfur oxide.

It shouldn't release H2S if it is not in contact with any acids (like HCl) .

And no, so2 does not react with air :) Otherwise the entire human race would be pretty dead by now since h2s is extremly toxic. And don't worry about not detecting it, it has a distinct smell.

@Bilbo940 I was more referring to Sulfur dioxide SO2....I don't know if i will react with the hydrogen in the air to form H2S??

BTW; sorry for the mistake :)

[Bilbo940]

@ErikDIY it says though in the description that dangerous sulfide gases are produced. Hydrogen sulfide being the only non-organic sulfide gas that I can think of I thought you were refering to it.

[ErikDIY]

@Bilbo940 I did not say that?

I sad that i'm going to make another video on how to make hydrogen sulfide (H2S) By iron sulfide....

[Bilbo940]

h2s created?
