Here's the balanced chemical equation:
2 KBr (aq) + CaS (aq) → CaBr₂ (aq) + K₂S (aq)
Here's a breakdown:
* Reactants:
* Potassium bromide (KBr) is a soluble ionic compound.
* Calcium sulfide (CaS) is also a soluble ionic compound.
* Products:
* Calcium bromide (CaBr₂) is a soluble ionic compound.
* Potassium sulfide (K₂S) is also a soluble ionic compound.
Important Note: This reaction is considered to be a metathesis reaction, but it doesn't actually proceed to a significant extent because all the products are also soluble in water. Essentially, the ions are simply swapped around in solution, and no precipitate forms.
