  • Net Ionic Equation for Na2S + 2HCl: A Step-by-Step Guide
    To write the net ionic equation for the reaction between \(Na_2S \) and \(2HCl\), we first need to write the balanced molecular equation:

    $$Na_2S (aq) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + H_2S (g) $$

    Then, we identify the spectator ions, which are the ions that do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are \(Na^+ \) and \(Cl^- \).

    The net ionic equation is:

    $$S^{2-} + 2H^+ → H_2S (g) $$
