When an aqueous solution of manganese (II)nitrate is combined with an aqueous solution of ammonium sulfide,what should precipitate out? A) MnS B) Mn(SO₃)₂ C) Mn(SO₄)₂ D) Mn₂SO₃ E) Mn₂SO₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When ammonium sulfide is added to manganese (II) nitrate, a double displacement reaction occurs where the cation from the sulfide solution combines with the anion from the nitrate solution, resulting in the formation of a precipitate. In this case, the cation from the sulfide solution is ammonium (NH4+) while the anion from the nitrate solution is Mn2+. Therefore, the most likely product is a solid manganese sulfide (MnS). Choice A is the only option that includes MnS as the potential product.
