Ferrous Sulphide Extra Pure is a high-purity, dark grey to black solid compound primarily used in laboratory demonstrations, especially for generating hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) gas when reacted with dilute acids. This reaction is a classic example in inorganic chemistry for studying gas evolution and the properties of sulfide compounds. Beyond educational uses, ferrous sulphide is also employed in analytical testing and in certain metallurgical and industrial processes where controlled sulfur introduction is required. Its high purity ensures minimal interference from impurities, making it ideal for precise scientific applications. The compound should be handled in a well-ventilated area and stored in tightly sealed containers to avoid moisture exposure and the release of toxic gases.
