Because it happens somewhere
I think it’s C sry if I’m wrong
Answer:
ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)
Explanation:
First, we will write the molecular equation, since it is easier to balance.
2 HBr(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ H₂S(aq) + ZnBr₂(aq)
In the full ionic equation we include all ions and molecular species.
2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ 2 H⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
In the net ionic equation we include only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.
ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)
As,
Kw = [H+] [OH-]
For water, [H+] = [OH-]
Therefore we can write
Kw = [H+]²
9.311 × 10-14 = [H+]²
[H+] =
3.04 × 10-7 = [OH-]
Ph = - log [H+]
= - log (
3.04 × 10-7)
= 6.52
Thus, Ph = PoH = 6.52
