How many formula units are in the unit cell shown for li2s??

1 answer:

4 0

Li2S or Lithium Sulfide has a antifluorite crystal structure. This structure has FCC lattice cations filling tetrahedral holes with anions. The FCC structure contains 4 atoms per unit cell and a coordination number of 12.

This substance easily reacts to form H2S which produces the rotten egg smell.

Answer: The net ionic equation is written below.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonium carbonate and lead nitrate is given as:

$(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq.)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq.)\rightarrow PbCO_3(s)+2NH_4NO_3(aq.)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$2NH_4^+(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+Pb^{2+}(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)\rightarrow PbCO_3(s)+2NH_4^+(aq.)+2NO_3^-(aq.)$

As, ammonium and nitrate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$Pb^{2+}(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow PbCO_3(s)$
