Question

Aqueous tin(IV) nitrate is mixed with H2S (aq) and the precipitate tin(IV) sulfide forms. Check all true statements.

The charge on the sulfide ion is -2.

The balanced net ionic equation for this reaction is:

Sn4+ (aq)  +   S2- (aq) -->  SnS (s)

The overall balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

Sn(NO3)4 (aq)  +  2 H2S (aq) -->  SnS2 (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq)

The balanced net ionic equation for this reaction is:

NO3- (aq)  +   K+ (aq) -->  KNO3 (aq)

The charge on the sulfide ion is -2.

The balanced net ionic equation for this reaction is:

Sn4+ (aq)  +   S2- (aq) -->  SnS (s)

The overall balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

Sn(NO3)4 (aq)  +  2 H2S (aq) -->  SnS2 (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq)

The balanced net ionic equation for this reaction is:

NO3- (aq)  +   K+ (aq) -->  KNO3 (aq)

Explanation / Answer

1) True since sulphide = S-2

2) False since tin(IV) oxidation state is formed but here SnS Sn has (II) which is wrong

3) True

4) False in net inic eq is Sn 4+(aq) + 2H2S -> SnS2(s) + 4H+(aq)
