sodium sulfide
A reddish-yellow compound (NaS), generally
prepared by the reduction of sodium sulfate with
carbon monoxide or hydrogen. It is soluble in
water and is used as a sharpening agent in lime
liquors. It forms both sodium hydrosulfide and
sodium hydroxide when dissolved in water. Its
action is much more caustic than that of SODIUM HYDROSULFIDE .
