Tungsten trisulfide is an inorganic compound of tungsten and sulfur with the chemical formula WS3.[1][2] The compound looks like chocolate-brown powder.[3][4]
Synthesis
- Bubbling hydrogen sulfide through hot acidified solution of tungstenates.[5]
- Reaction of tungsten disulfide and elemental sulfur on heating:[6] [math]\ce{ WS2 + S -> WS3 }[/math]
- Precipitates upon acidification of thiotungstate solutions:[5] [math]\ce{ (NH4)2WS4 + HCl -> WS3 + 2NH4Cl + H2S }[/math] [math]\ce{ Na2WS4 + H2SO4 -> WS3 + Na2SO4 + H2S }[/math]
Physical properties
Slightly soluble in cold water and forms colloidal solution in hot water.
Soluble in alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal hydroxides.[3]
Chemical properties
Tungsten trisulfide can be decomposed by heating into tungsten disulfide and elemental sulfur: [math]\ce{ WS3 -> WS2 + S }[/math]
Reacts with sulfide solutions: [math]\ce{ WS3 + (NH4)2S -> (NH4)2WS4 }[/math]
Reduced by hydrogen: [math]\ce{ WS3 + 3H2 -> W + 3H2S }[/math]
