Sulph*ac"id (?), n. [Sulpho- + acid.] (Chem.) An acid in which, to a greater or less extent, sulphur plays a part analogous to that of oxygen in an oxyacid; thus, thiosulphuric and sulpharsenic acids are sulphacids; -- called also sulphoacid. See the Note under Acid, n., 2.

Sulph*am"ate (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulphamic acid.

Sulph*am"ic (?), a. (Chem.) Of or pertaining to a sulphamide; derived from, or related to, a sulphamide; specifically, designating an amido acid derivative, NH2.SO2.OH, of sulphuric acid (analogous to sulphonic acid) which is not known in the free state, but is known in its salts.

Sulph*am"ide (?), n. (Chem.) Any one of a series of amido compounds obtained by treating sulphuryl chloride with various amines.

Sulph`a*nil"ic (?), a. [From sulphuric + anilene.] (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, an anilene sulphonic acid which is obtained as a white crystalline substance.

Sulph*an`ti*mo"nate (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulphantimonic acid.

Sulph*an`ti*mon"ic (?), a. [Sulpho- + antimonic.] (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid of antimony (called also thioantimonic acid) analogous to sulpharsenic acid.

Sulph*an`ti*mo"ni*ous (?), a. (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid of antimony (called also thioantimonious acid) analogous to sulpharsenious acid.

Sulph*an"ti*mo*nite` (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulphantimonious acid.

Sulph*ar"se*nate (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulpharsenic acid.

Sulph`ar*sen"ic (?), a. [Sulpho- + arsenic.] (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid (called also thioarsenic acid) analogous to arsenic acid, and known only in its salts.

Sulph`ar*se"ni*ous (?), a. (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid (called also thioarsenious acid) analogous to arsenious acid, and known only in its salts.

Sulph*ar"se*nite (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulpharsenious acid.

Sul"phate (?), n. [NL. sulphas, sulphatis, fr. L. sulphur, sulfur, brimstone, sulphur: cf. F. sulfate.] (Chem.) A salt of sulphuric acid.

Sul*phat"ic (?), a. (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, resembling, or containing, a sulphate or sulphates.

Sul"pha*to- (?). (Chem.) A combining form (also used adjectively) denoting a sulphate as an ingredient in certain double salts; as, sulphato-carbonate. [R.]

Sulph*au"rate (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of sulphauric acid.

Sulph*au"ric (?), a. [Sulpho- + aurum.] (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a hypothetical sulphacid of gold (aurum), known only in its salts.

Sul"phide (?), n. (Chem.) A binary compound of sulphur, or one so regarded; -- formerly called sulphuret.

Double sulphide (Chem.), a compound of two sulphides. -- Hydrogen sulphide. (Chem.) See under Hydrogen. -- Metallic sulphide, a binary compound of sulphur with a metal.

Sul"phi*nate (?), n. (Chem.) A salt of a sulphinic acid.

Sulph*in`di*got"ic (?), a. (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, a sulphonic acid obtained, as a blue solution, by dissolving indigo in sulphuric acid; -- formerly called also cerulic sulphuric acid, but properly called indigo-disulphonic acid.

Sul"phine (?), n. (Chem.) Any one of a series of basic compounds which consist essentially of sulphur united with hydrocarbon radicals. In general they are oily or crystalline deliquescent substances having a peculiar odor; as, trimethyl sulphine, (CH3)3S.OH. Cf. Sulphonium.

Sul*phin"ic (?), a. (Chem.) Of, pertaining to, or designating, any one of a series of acids regarded as acid ethereal salts of hyposulphurous acid; as, methyl sulphinic acid, CH3.SO.OH, a thick unstable liquid.
