Question

Write a hydrogen sulfide reaction with NH4Cl + H2O + H2S included. Show balanced, total ionic, and net ionic for the reaction. (Show all steps).

Answer 1

NH4Cl + H2O ==> Nh4OH + HCl

2NH4OH + H2S ==> (NH4)2S + 2H2O

Add the two reactions : NH4Cl + H2O + 2NH4OH + H2S ===> Nh4OH + HCl + (NH4)2S + 2H2O

Balanced reaction is : NH4Cl + NH4OH + H2S ===> HCl + (NH4)2S + H2O

-------------------------------------------------

Total ionic reaction is :

2NH4+ (aq) + Cl^- (aq) + OH- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) ==> H+ (aq) + Cl-(aq) + 2NH4+ (aq) + S^2- (aq) + H2O (l)

Net ionic reaction :

To write net ionic reaction cancel the similar terms from both side of the ionic reaction

OH- (aq) + H+ (aq) ==>   H2O (l)
