hydrogen sulfide - 2024 ARGOS

Question

In 2015, researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Mainz found that the decomposition of this compound exhibits superconductivity at 203 Kelvin. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this compound, found in large quantities in sour gas. This compound is subjected to combustion at the beginning of the Claus process.

ANSWER: hydrogen sulfide [or H2S]

[10e] The Girdler sulfide process relies on an isotopic exchange between hydrogen sulfide and water to isolate this substance. This form of water is 10% denser due to containing a common hydrogen isotope.

ANSWER: heavy water [or deuterium oxide or deuterium water or deuterated water or D2O; prompt on water]

[10h] A paper of this compound is used to detect hydrogen sulfide by forming a gray precipitate. Along with an oxide, this ionic compound makes up a solution called Goulard’s extract that is used as an astringent.

ANSWER: lead(II) acetate [or lead acetate; or lead diacetate; accept Saturn’s salt]
