Question

Silver tarnish Ag<sub>2</sub>S) can be removed by immersing silverware in a hot solution of baking soda NaHCO<sub>3</sub>) in a pan lined with aluminum foil; however, foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide gas H<sub>2</sub>S) is produced.Which of the statements below is true? A) Aluminum ions react with S<sup>2+</sup>, form aluminum sulfide, and gaseous carbon dioxide is released. B) Silver ions in the presence of the baking soda NaHCO<sub>3</sub>) oxidize sulfide to elemental sulfur that attacks the aluminum foil, which produces aluminum sulfide. C) The aluminum acts as a reducing agent for the silverI) in silver sulfide; then bicarbonate ion protonates the sulfide ion that is released. D) Aluminum is plated onto the silver surface, making it shiny again, and then the reaction of bicarbonate with aluminum oxide releases CO<sub>2</sub>. E) Silver in Ag<sub>2</sub>S reduces the aluminum, becomes metallic silver in the process, and releases hydrogen sulfide, H<sub>2</sub>S.
