Overview of Ferrous Sulfide
Ferrous Sulfide is an important inorganic iron sulphide compound commonly used in laboratories, chemical manufacturing, metallurgy, and speciality industrial applications. Chemically, the ferrous sulfide formula is FeS, formed by the direct combination of iron and sulfur. It contains iron in the +2 oxidation state and is known for its reactivity with acids.
In terms of appearance, Ferrous Sulfide typically occurs as a black to dark grey solid with a metallic sheen. It is insoluble in water but reacts readily with acids to produce hydrogen sulphide gas, making it useful in controlled industrial and laboratory processes. Due to its chemical behaviour, it is handled strictly under regulated industrial conditions.
