Write out the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when Fe(OH)3 and H2S react together.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I think FeS + (OH)3H2

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

what?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

the 3 is the charge for the Fe

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

pull your table of elements and look at the charges for Fe, usually they come in II and III

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I'm confused

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

This is another double replacement reaction. AB + CD --> AD + CB

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\sf Fe(OH)_{3}(s) + H_2S ~(aq) ~\rightarrow \]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So you have: iron (III) hydroxide + hydrogen sulfide ---> iron (III) sulfide + water. can you write this out for me?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Remember: when you see \(\sf HOH\) you can think of hydrogen hydroxide, or water, \(\sf H_2O\)

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Jhannybean So you have: iron (III) hydroxide + hydrogen sulfide ---> iron (III) sulfide + water. can you write this out for me? \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Do this

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Iron(III) sulfide=?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

FeS+H2O?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What is the valency of sulphide and Iron(III)?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

2?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Valency of sulphide is 2, valency of iron(III) is III [(III) indicates valency, Iron has variable valency, Iron(II) means that iron is having valency II] Now, |dw:1418577071673:dw|
