Write and balance the following reactions with the information given. Hydrogen sulfide gas is passed over solid hot lead (III) hydroxide, the resultant reaction produces solid lead (III) sulfide and gaseous water.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
The reaction between hydrogen sulphide and lead hydroxide to give lead sulphide and gaseous water. The chemical equation for this is
H2S(g) + Pb(OH)3 (s) ---->Pb2S3 (s) + H2O (g)
this chemical equation is not balance we have to balance it and then rewrite it. We will balance this chemical equation by using "Law of Conservation of Mass".
