Hydrogen sulfide burns in the presense of oxygen producing sulfiar dioxide and water
I got HS + O2 >>> SO2 + H2O
Its not balanced yet, but can you check if i wrote the equation right? Does the hydrogen sulfide need charges added to them?
hyrogen sulfide is H2S. The products are right.
so it does not need any charges? and isnt that an acid?
I got for final answer as 2HS + 3O2 -----> 2SO2 + 2H2O
How can you get 2HS ==> etc when I gave you the correct formula for hydrogen sulfide as H2S?
H2S + O2 ==> SO2 + H2O which isn't balanced. And what is what an acid? H2S is an acid in aqueous solution. SO2 is an acid when added to water to form H2SO3.
Yes, you wrote the chemical equation correctly, but it is not yet balanced. The formula for hydrogen sulfide is H2S, which means it consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one sulfur atom. When it reacts with oxygen (O2), it forms sulfur dioxide (SO2) and water (H2O). The balanced equation for the reaction is:
2 H2S + 3 O2 → 2 SO2 + 2 H2O
To balance the equation, you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. In this case, there are two hydrogen atoms on each side, two sulfur atoms on each side, and six oxygen atoms on each side. Therefore, the equation is balanced correctly. There is no need to add any charges to the hydrogen sulfide molecule in this reaction.
