Poor resolution G f 0 for S 2- affects hydrothermal complexing arguments, evaluation of sulfide solubility products, and calculation of aqueous sulfur speciation. The second dissociation constant for H 2 S ( log K HS - ) if well known could be used to determine this free-energy. The log K HS - has been evaluated here by extrapolating the thermodynamic data for the dissociation of polysulfides (H 2 S n ) as a function of the reciprocal chain length (1/ n ). The extrapolation method is supported by standard weak acid theory. The extrapolation is further based on flocculation experiments which determined the equilibrium constant for the protonation of a colloidal sulfur surface, which is a reaction analog for the protonation of an infinite sulfur chain, H 2 S . The derived log K HS - value, -18.51 ± 0.56 (20°C), implies that S 2- is never a dominant aqueous species. This new value has been used to derive alternative solubility products of some metal sulfides.
