Chemical compound

Ammonium pentasulfide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2S5.

Synthesis

Passing hydrogen sulfide through a suspension of powdered sulfur in a concentrated ammonia solution:

2NH3 + H2S + 4S → (NH4)2S5

Physical properties

Ammonium tellurate forms yellow crystals, decomposing in water, of monoclinic system, spatial group P 21/C, cell parameters a = 0.5427 nm, B = 1.6226 Nm, c = 0.9430 Nm, β = 105.31°, Z = 4.

The compound can be stored under the mother liquor without air access. When dry, it decomposes quickly in the air. the compound emits sulfur intensively in water and melts in a sealed ampoule at 95 °C to form a red liquid.

Chemical properties

The compound decomposes when stored in air or slightly heated:

(NH4)2S5 → 2NH3 + H2S + 4S
