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

Answer:

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

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
