Answer:

Since this is an ionic compound, you must balance the charges so that overall charge of the compound is neutral. Sodium, an alkali metal, has a tendency to lose one electron. As a result sodium normally carries a positive one charge. Sulfur, a nonmetal, has a tendency to gain 2 electrons.

Answer:

Sodium commonly forms a

ion.

Explanation:

And thus the chemical formula for sodium sulfide is

Na2S , i.e. two sodium ions are required to form a neutral salt with

S2-

Consider this reaction: h2s hno3 right arrow. s no h2o reduction half-reaction: n 5 3e- right arrow. n 2 oxidation half-reaction

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The coefficients of H2S and HNO3 in the balanced reaction equation are 2 and 3 respectively.

<h3>Chemical reaction</h3>

In a chemical reaction, reactans interact in a unique way to form products. In this case, the unbalanced reaction equation is; H2S + HNO3-----> NO + H2O.

Since this reaction is redox and electrons are lost/gained in the process, the coefficients of H2S and HNO3 in the balanced reaction equation are 2 and 3 respectively.

Calcium cyanamide, CaCN2, reacts with water to form calcium carbonate and ammonia. CaCN2(s)+3H2O(l)→CaCO3(s)+2NH3(g). How many g

Norma-Jean [14]

298 g of calcium carbonate CaCO₃

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

CaCN₂ (s) + 3 H₂O (l) → CaCO₃ (s)+ 2 NH₃ (g)

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of H₂O = 161 / 18 = 8.94 moles

Knowing the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 3 moles of H₂O produces 1 mole of CaCO₃

then 8.94 moles of H₂O produces X moles of CaCO₃

X = (8.94 × 1) / 3 = 2.98 moles of CaCO₃

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of CaCO₃ = 2.98 × 100 = 298 g
