The general reaction for this displacement reaction can be represented as:
S(s) + 2HCl(aq) → H2S(g) + 2Cl(aq)
In this reaction, solid sulfur (S) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) in an aqueous solution. Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) is produced as a result of the displacement of hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid by sulfur atoms. Chlorine ions (Cl-) are formed as a byproduct of this reaction.
