The solubility of sodium sulfide in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, and benzyl alcohol and the acid-base interaction of these compounds have been determined at (20 and 35) degrees C. The reactions result in the formation of sodium alkoxide and hydrosulfide. The reported values on the solubility of sodium sulfide in alcohols differ essentially from the data described in the literature.
