Write a chemical equation for the reaction of Na2S with water?

Question

i'm thinking it is Na2S (aq) + H2O (l) = 2NaOH (aq) + H2S (aq), but i'm not sure..Please Help

Kansas Spice.. i already tried with the 2 in front of H2O, but it's still wrong...idk

Answer 1

Na2S (aq) + 2H2O (l) = 2NaOH + H2S (g)

Answer 2

well man so it happens that both NaOH and H2S happen to be a very strong alkali and and a very strong acid so the reaction will occur in reverse way, I mean what you are proposing is not an spontanous reaction and it does not happen in nature or under common circumstances.
once you inverse the way the reaction occurs you got it right for sulfur -2 will combine with 2 Na+1
2NaOH+H2S --- 2H2O+ SNa2

Answer 3

Of course. I'm sorry, I did make a mistake. H2S is only slightly soluble in water. It is a gas. I'll get it right one of these days. However, the 2 in front of the water does still apply.

Answer 4

2C2H2 + 5O2 --> 4CO2 + 2H2O Cl2 + 2KI ---> I2 + 2KCl Li2O + H2O ---> 2LiOH 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2 Hg2++ + Na2S ---> Hg2S + 2Na+ this is beneficial to characteristic the state of each substance (lig, sol, gas, aqueous) by potential of which incorporate a subscript in parenthesis in the back of one and all as follows: (s) (l) (g) (aq)
