Which of the following, if any, is the correctly balanced net ionic equation for reaction that occurs when aqueous iron(III) sulfate is added to aqueous sodium sulfide to produce solid iron(III) sulfide and aqueous sodium sulfate. A)Fe³⁺(aq) + 3S^2- (aq) $\rarr$ FeS₃(s) B)2Fe³⁺(aq) + S^2- (aq) $\rarr$ Fe₂S (s) C) 2Fe³⁺(aq) + 3S^2- (s) $\rarr$ Fe₂S₃(aq) D)2Fe³⁺(aq) + 3S^2- (aq) $\rarr$ Fe₂S₃(s) E) None of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation for the reaction is:
2Fe3+(aq) + 3 S2-(aq) → Fe2S3(s)
The net ionic equation is obtained by eliminating the spectator ions, which in this case are Na+ and SO42-. The net ionic equation for the reaction is:
2Fe3+(aq) + 3S2-(aq) → Fe2S3(s)
