Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of hydrosulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide are combined. Assume excess base.


Answered by DrBob222
H2S(aq) + 2KOH(aq) ==> 2H2O(l) + K2S(aq)
H2S + 2K^+ + OH^- =>2H2O + 2K^+ + S^2-
Cancel the 2K^+
The net ionic equation is what remains.

I omitted a coefficient in the overall equation. Also I didn't include aq for each. BUT do you realize you can have an OVERALL ionic equation OR you can have a net ionic equation but you can't have both in the same equation except in a few circumstances.
H2S + 2K^+ + 2OH^- =>2H2O + 2K^+ + S^2- is the overall ionic equation. The net ionic equation is
H2S(aq) + 2OH^&-(aq) ==> 2H2O(l) + S^2-(aq)

The net is H2S + 2KOH= K2S+2H2O BALANCE
