(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula and balanced chemical equation of sodium sulphide from sodium and sulphur has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
- 1) The chemical formula of binary compound from a pair of its constituent ion has to be written.
- 2) The coefficients of the ions with the magnitude of the charge on each of the ions have to be crossed multiplied. This is done to neutralize charge on the binary compound.
- 3) The oxidation state of the metal is written in roman numbers in the brackets
(a)
Answer to Problem 6.23P
The chemical formula is
The balanced chemical equation is
Explanation of Solution
Sodium has a monopositive charge
But sulphur in nature exists as
Sixteen moles of sodium are required in the reactant side and eight moles of sodium sulphide are required in the product side to make the equation a balanced one. The balanced chemical equation is,
