what compound is for when hydrogen sulfide is produced ? what does it look like?

Expert Solution

Hydrogen sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula H2S.It is very poisonous, corrosive, and flammable. It has a the characteristic foul odor of rotten eggs. It act as a reducing agent.People can smell it at low levels. People can usually identify it with its smell.

Hydrogen sulfide burns in oxygen with a blue flame to form sulfur dioxide (SO2) and water.
Hydrogen sulfide is commonly produced from the microbial activity and which breakdowns tye organic matter in the absence of oxygen gas, such as in swamps and sewers; this process is commonly known as anaerobic digestion which is done by sulfate-reducing microorganisms. H2S also occurs in volcanic gases, natural gas, and in some sources of well water. The human body produces small amounts of H2S and uses it as a signaling molecule.

What does readiness to change mean, and what does it look like? When I worked in a large consulting firm, we had a specific step in our change process that was entitled "change readiness". But this step was akin to the "communicate" and "act" stages in the EP model. In reality, an organization that is "change ready" has incorporated the change mindset, skills and tools into its culture so that changes become part of how the company moves forward. In...

A compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of 0.157g of the compound produced 0.213g CO2 and 0.0310g of H2O. In another experiment, 0.103g of the compound produced 0.0230g of NH3. What is the emerical formula of the compound? In a seperate experiment, the molar mass is found to be 454.3 g/mol. what is the molecular formula of the compound? hint: assume that all carbon ends up in CO2 and all hydrogen ends up in H2O.Also assume that...
