H2S2 is decomposed violently by strong bases (Bloch, I. et al. 1908. Berichte. 41, p. 1977).
Hydrogen sulfide reacts exothermically with soda-lime (a mixture of calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and water), and this mixture can incandesce with air and ignite combustible material in the surrounding area (Mellor, J.W. 1947. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 10, p. 140; Bretherick, L., Chem. & Ind., 1971, p. 1042).
