Description
Yellow crystals that are unstable at room temperature or in the presence of moisture. Ammonium sulfide is sold commercially as a liquid that is primarily composed of ammonium bisulfide, NH4HS. Ammonium sulfide is used in photographic developers, in the manufacture of textiles, and to produce a dark patina on brasses and bronzes.
Synonyms and Related Terms
