Question

I'll give the lifesaver rating to anyone who thoroughly explainshow to solve this net ionic equation problem:
Write an overall balanced equation and a net ionic equationfor the following reaction. Indicate the physical states of allreactant and product species:
The reaction between aqueous ammonium sulfide and solidmagnesium hydroxide
Write an overall balanced equation and a net ionic equationfor the following reaction. Indicate the physical states of allreactant and product species:
The reaction between aqueous ammonium sulfide and solidmagnesium hydroxide

Explanation / Answer

Overall equation:             (NH4)2 S (aq)   + Mg (OH)2(s) ------> MgS (aq) + 2NH4OH (aq) Both the products are not insoluble in water. So they areindicated as (aq) . Total ionic equation:     2NH4+ (aq) +S2- (aq) + Mg (OH)2(s)   -------> 2NH4+ (aq) +S2- (aq) + Mg2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) This equation is written mentioning all the substances whichdissolve as ions. . Net ionic equation:       Mg (OH)2(s)   -------> Mg2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq) This is the only net change in the reaction.
