This is a true story; can you explain what happened? Prior to a really important dinner party, the hostess discovered that her silverware was very tarnished. She needed a quick fix. She remembered reading that the tarnish (Ag2S) would be removed if you immersed the silverware in a hot solution of baking soda (NaHCO3) in a pan lined with aluminum foil. So she did, and so it was, but she noticed a bit of a rotten egg smell (H2S) being produced. Which one of the following statements cannot represent what might have been happening? Metal/Metal ion
A) Al Al3+ + 3e-
B) Ag+ + e- Ag
C) 2HCO3- +S2- H2S + 2CO32-
D) HCO3- +S2- HS- + CO32-
E) 2HCO3- +Ag2S H2S + 2CO32- + 2Ag
