Question

Janice Mixed in orange solution of sodium sulfide with a clear solution of hydrochloride acid. She noticed after a minute that the solution smelled something like a rotten eggs. What could she reasonably infer from the order released by the solution

Answer 1

That the hydrochloric acid reacted with the sodium sulfide to produce the same gas that is formed from rotten eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the reaction for the reaction is

Na₂S(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ⟶ 2NaCl(aq) + H₂S(g)

sodium sulfide + hydrochloric acid ⟶ sodium chloride + hydrogen sulfide
