The ions formed are NH4(+) and S(2-)
The dissolution reaction of (NH4) 2S in water is as follows:
(NH4) 2S ==> 2 NH4 (+) + S (2-).
Ammonium sulfide is the ammonium salt of hydrogen sulfide. It has the formula (NH4) 2S and belongs to the sulfide family.
It is a relatively unstable compound (crystals decomposing at -18 ° C, but exists and is more stable in aqueous solution.) With a pKa exceeding 15, the hydrosulfide ion cannot be significantly deprotonated by ammonia. Thus, such solutions consist mainly of a mixture of ammonia and hydrosulphide of ammonium, it has a smell, close to that of hydrogen sulfide, and its aqueous solutions can be precisely by emitting H2S.
Answer:
Grinding or breaking an Alka-Seltzer tablet increases the number of particles and increases the surface area. Material which was within the tablet is exposed, allowing for more collisions between reactant particles and resulting in an increased rate of reaction.
