What is the reaction of dilute nitric acid and sodium sufide?
The reaction between dilute nitric acid and sodium sulfide will produce hydrogen sulfide gas, sodium nitrate, and water. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2HNO3 + Na2S → 2NaNO3 + H2S.
Is sulfide an element or a compound?
A sufide is an anion form of the element sulfur. It can form compounds if it combines with other elements. Sulfide on it's own is not a compound, you need a prefix to that like Hydrogen Sulphide. Do not get this mixed up with a sulfate; you can get copper sulphate but not copper sulfide.
What type of ions have name ending in -ide?
Anions have names that end in -ide. Anions are negatively charged ions that are created when atoms gain electrons during chemical reactions. Examples include chloride (Cl−), fluoride (F−), and sulfide (S2−).
How many electrons does sulfide ion have?
A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons. Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
