Question
**Educational Content: Balancing Dissociation Equations**

**Question 4 of 6:**

Task: Complete the balanced dissociation equation for the compound below in aqueous solution. If the compound does not dissociate, write "NR" (No Reaction) after the reaction arrow.

Compound to analyze: \((NH_4)_2S(s)\)

**Instructions:**
- Ammonium sulfide (\((NH_4)_2S\)) is likely to dissociate into its respective ions when dissolved in water.
- Use the available options on the screen to input the balanced equation. These include numeric ions, chemical symbols, and states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, aqueous).

**Input Options Overview:**
- **Red Buttons:** Functional controls including "Reset" to clear inputs, navigation arrows, and deletion tools.
- **Chemical Symbols and States:** Provides tools for typing elements like Nitrogen (N), Hydrogen (H), and Sulfur (S), among others.
- **States of Matter and Reaction Indicators:** Options to specify solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g), aqueous (aq), and no reaction (NR).

**Guidance:**
1. Recognize the separate ions produced by ammonium sulfide dissociation: ammonium ions \((NH_4^+)\) and sulfide ions \((S^{2-})\).
2. Ensure charge and mass are balanced in your final equation.

**Example:**
Write the equation:
\[
(NH_4)_2S(s) \rightarrow 2NH_4^+(aq) + S^{2-}(aq)
\]

Remember to seek additional resources or guidance as needed.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Balance Chemical equation means no of atoms should be equaal in both side reactant and product

Dissociation means energy required to break the bond

(NH4)2S(s)=2NH4+(aq) +S2-(aq)
