Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct complete ionic equation involves the formation of solid copper sulfide (CuS) from the aqueous ions, while lithium ions (Li+) and nitrate ions (NO3-) remain in solution as spectator ions. Copper(II) nitrate reacts with lithium sulfide in aqueous solution to form solid copper(II) sulfide and lithium nitrate, which remains dissolved.
