Question

Complete the following steps.

Remember to follow lower numbered rules first.
K2S(aq) + LiOH(aq)->KOH (?) + Li2S(?)
a. Write a balanced chemical equation. (1 pt)
b. If a reaction occurs, write the balanced
chemical equation with the proper states of matter
(i.e. solid, liquid, aqueous) filled in. If no reaction
occurs, write “No reaction.” (1 pt)
c. If a reaction occurs, write the net ionic equation
for the reaction. If no reaction occurs, write “no
reaction.” (1 pt)

Answer 1

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The balanced chemical reaction equation is;

2 LiOH + K2S ------> Li2S + 2 KOH

b) If we include the states of matter then we have;

2 LiOH(aq) + K2S(aq) -----> Li2S(s) + 2 KOH(aq)

c) Complete ionic equation;

2Li^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) + S^+(aq) ----> Li2S(s) + 2K^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

2Li^+(aq) + S^2-(aq) -----> Li2S(s)
