To determine what the white substance is we must add it to HCl.
How could you determine whether a white powder was zinc sulfide or silver nitrate using hydrochloric acid solution? Write the balanced equations.

Pure magnesium sulfide (MgS) is a white crystalline solid at room temperature.
It has a bad smell that can be detected by our nose, even in small concentrations.Also, people could try taking a sample of air that contains hydrogen sulfide, and let it pass through a solution of lead nitrate, if the gas contained hydrogen sulfide then the solution will become black due to the lead sulfide that was produced.
Silver nitrate would not react with HCl while Zinc Sulphide would react with HCl forming Zinc Chloride and evolving H2S gas. AgNO3 +HCl---> No reaction ZnS + 2HCl -------> ZnCl2 + H2S

Bacteria will seek out Nitrate as an oxygen source before using sulfate, braking the sulfide production chain in wastewater. Calcium Nitrate is one Nitrate based chemical, others include Nitrate of Soda and Potassium Nitrate.
The chemical formula of lead(II) nitrate is Pb(NO3)2. The chemical formula of hydrogen sulfide is H2S.
yes
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is released.

Na2S + Cu(NO3)2 -> 2NaNO3 + CuS
