[edit] ZnS to STINK

Just add some HCl to your ZnS and you will have instant stink bomb, to contain this and easly use it effectivly and deviously, place HCl (avalible from hardware stores) and ZnS (Science cubord at school) mix them together at around 2 to 1 ratio (1.0M HCl) and you have instant STINK. exelent for school muck up days and sisters bedrooms. BE EXTREAMLY careful that it is a well ventilated area as this is a toxic gas and can cause coma and death at high levels. IF in a room do your math before hand to calculate how much ZnS is needed to be less than ~~1.0ppb

[edit] Also used as rodenticide

ZnS is also widely used as a rodent poison; as the above user has so brilliantly pointed out, contact with strong mineral acids liberates HS gas. Moles, in particular, (I think) have no vomit reflex, and are killed from HS poisoning.

[edit] Used to make SO3 in some countries

By heating in air. The equation is ZnS + 2O2 > ZnO + SO3. SO3 is of course essential to making sulphuric acid.81.178.249.71 10:05, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
