Is H2S a Base?
H2S Is a Weak Acid. H2S Is a Brønsted Acid, Because It Is Donating a Proton to the Water. It Is Also a Lewis Acid, Because It Is Accepting a Pair of Electrons...

Regarding this, is h2s an acid or base?
H2S is a weak acid, donating two hydrogen ions in neutralization reactions, forming HS- and S-2 ions. In water or water-base muds, the three sulfide species, H2S and HS- and S-2 ions, are in dynamic equilibrium with water and H+ and OH- ions. The percent distribution among the three sulfide species depends on pH.
Likewise, is h2s a Bronsted base? H2S is usually an acid, but it can also behave as a base. Here H2S acts as a brønsted acid in presence of weaker bases like H2O here because H2S donates a proton to the water. Note- Infact almost all bronsted acids or bases can be amphiprotic.
Likewise, is h2s Basic?
H2S is isoelectronic with H2O. As with water, H2S can act as both an acid and a base (amphiprotic).
Why is h2s not an acid?
Calcium ion water gives off hydrogen, sodium more violently, and potassium gives off enough heat to ignite the potassium. H2S is more acidic because the SH- anion is bigger hence the charge is better distributed, and I suppose because the S-H bond is weaker.
