DEF

A chemical product which appears in the form of an odorless, orange-yellow powder, is insoluble in water, is soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid with evolution of hydrogen sulfide, is soluble in alkali, decomposes on heating, and is used as a red pigment and a rubber accelerator.

OBS

General dictionaries indicate that "antimony sulfide" is a synonym of "antimony pentasulfide". In fact, it is a generic term.

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds

DEF

Either of two sulfides of antimony: ... the trisulfide Sb2S3 [or] the pentasulfide Sb2S5 ...

CONT

Antimony sulphide is perhaps the worst mineral with which the quartz crusher has to deal. It divides the mercury into a black "flour" even more quickly than arsenical pyrites ...

OBS

antimony sulfide: This name is an ambiguous generic term. It is better to refer directly to the diantimony trisulfide or to the diantimony pentasulfide, respectively.

CONT

[Les] sulfures d'antimoine [comprennent] le trisulfure naturel Sb2S3 [et le] pentasulfure Sb2S5[...]

OBS

sulfure d'antimoine : Ce terme, parce que générique, est imprécis et devrait être évité, sauf si on parle des sulfures d'antimoine collectivement. Il est préférable d'utiliser l'un des termes spécifiques appropriés, soit le trisulfure de diantimoine ou le pentasulfure de diantimoine.
