Detailed information about the equation K2S + HNO3 -> 2KNO3 + H2S:
- On the left side of the equation, K2S is Potassium sulfide and HNO3 is Nitric acid.
- On the right side of the equation, 2KNO3 is Potassium nitrate and H2S is Hydrogen sulfide.
- The equation indicates that when Potassium sulfide reacts with Nitric acid, it will form Potassium nitrate and Hydrogen sulfide.
-
Reaction conditions: Potassium sulfide and Nitric acid must exist in standard temperature and pressure conditions.
-
Reaction process: When the substances K2S and HNO3 are mixed together, a chemical reaction will occur, forming 2KNO3 and H2S. During this process, the K+ ions from K2S will bond with the NO3- ions from HNO3 to form KNO3. The H+ ions from HNO3 will bond with the S2- ions from K2S to form H2S.
-
Phenomena occurring: During the reaction, there will be a bubbling effect due to the escape of H2S. The smell of H2S can also be perceived as H2S has a distinctive foul odor.
