Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide, (NH4)2S, and Hg(NO3)2 react to produce HgS and NH4NO3.(a) Write the overall, balanced equation for the reaction. Indicate the state (s, aq) for each compound.(b) Name each compound.(c) What type of reaction is this?



Answer :

(NH4)2S (aq) ˖ Hg(NO3)2 (aq)  →  HgS (s) ˖ 2NH4NO3 (aq), exchange reaction and precipitation reaction

The unbalanced reaction: (NH₄)₂S, and Hg(NO₃)₂  →  HgS and NH₄NO₃

Balanced equation for the reaction: (NH₄)₂S ˖ Hg(NO₃)₂  →  HgS ˖ 2NH₄NO₃

States for each compound: (NH₄)₂S (aq) ˖ Hg(NO₃)₂ (aq)  →  HgS (s) ˖ 2NH₄NO₃ (aq)

(NH₄)₂S is Ammonium Sulphide and it is aqueous.

Hg(NO₃)₂  Mercuric nitrate and it is aqueous.

HgS Mercury Sulphide, is a black or red crystalline solid

2NH₄NO₃ Ammonium Nitrate is aqueous

The type of reaction seen here is exchange reaction and precipitation reaction

During exchange reactions, cations and anions that were companions in the reactants switch positions in the products.

Precipitation processes occur when cations and anions in an aqueous solution interact to produce a precipitate, an insoluble ionic solid.
