Silver sulfide is composed of silver, a metal, and sulfur, a non-metal; therefore, it is an ionic compound and a salt.

Ammonium sulfide an acid base or salt?

Ammonium sulfide is a salt, formed from the reaction between ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. It dissociates in water to produce ammonium ions and sulfide ions. It is commonly used as a reagent in chemical reactions.


Is silver carbonate an acid or base?

Silver carbonate is a CHEMICAL SALT. Hence it is neither an acid nor a base.


Is salt silver sulfide?

No, salt is not silver sulfide. Salt is sodium chloride, a compound made of sodium and chloride ions, while silver sulfide is a compound made of silver and sulfur ions. They have different chemical compositions and properties.


Is calcium sulfide an acid base or salt?

Calcium sulfide is a salt. It is formed by the reaction between calcium, which is a metal, and sulfur, a non-metal. It does not exhibit acidic or basic properties because it does not release H+ or OH- ions in water.


Is AgNO3 an acid or base?

Does it contain H+ ions? No, so it is not an acid.Does it contain OH- ions? No, so it is not a base/alkali.Silver nitrate is a salt formed by reacting silver with nitric acid.


Is AgI a base or acid?

AgI is neither a base nor an acid. It is a salt composed of silver cations (Ag+) and iodide anions (I-).


If you boil Silver in salt water why does Sulfur form?

The black tarnish on silver is silver sulfide, Ag2S. Presumably you are boiling silver in a metal pot. The salt water completes an electrochemical cell between the silver sulfide and the aluminum, copper, or iron pot. The oxidized silver in silver sulfide is reduced to silver metal, and part of the metal pot is oxidized; the reaction happens because silver wants to be reduced more than the other metals do. You might imagine that as the metal is oxidized it would become iron, copper, or aluminum sulfide, but the metal sulfides, especially aluminum sulfide, are not so stable. Aluminum sulfide hydrolyzes to aluminum hydroxides and hydrogen sulfide, H2S, the stinky gas, which is probably what you are calling "sulfur".


What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?

when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.


What is the General equation for acid reacting with a base?

acid + base → salt + water


Can an acid and a base react to form an acid?

NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.


What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.
