Mass can’t be destroyed. So since not all the mass was found in the products, that simply means that it was lost to the environment. For example, let’s say hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and we get water in the product. Now that oxygen could have reacted with something else that we didn’t take into account when measuring the mass of the H2O released.
Tldr, some of the reactants were lost to the surroundings
Oxygen:
Atomic no. = 8(from periodic table)
⇒1s^2 2s^2 2p^4
But it is O^2-
There are 2 more electrons
=>1s^2 2s^2 2p^6
Voila!
Answer:
2Ag(s) + 1H2S(g) → 1Ag2S(s) + 1H2(g)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Ag(s) + H2S(g) → Ag,S(s) + H2(g)
Ag has and oxidation number of +1
S has an oxidation number of -2
H has an oxidation number of +1
Step 2: The balanced equation
Ag+ + 2H+ + S^2- →
The silver ion and the sulfur ion will bind, but we need 2 silver atoms to bind with 1 sulfur atom.
2 H- atoms will appear as H2.
The balanced equation is:
2Ag+ + 2H+ +S^2- → Ag2S + H2
2Ag(s) + 1H2S(g) → 1Ag2S(s) + 1H2(g)
Answer:
Silver
Explanation:
I remember this because Ag can mean "Ain't Gold"
