What is the compound formula for silver and sulfur?
Ag2SMainly Silver(I) Sulfide = Ag2S
What is the equation of silver sulfide forms when silver and sulfur react?
The molecular formula for Silver sulfide is Ag2S
What is the chemical formula for silver sodium sulfide?
Ag2S
What color does silver become when oxidized?
Black (Silver Oxide, Ag2O, Only with pure Oxygen)
Is ZnS ionic or covalent?
Zinc sulfide is a covalent compound.
Is silver a sulfide?
Silver sulfide is an ionic compound, and is not a metal.
Silver sulfide acid base or salt?
Silver sulfide is composed of silver, a metal, and sulfur, a non-metal; therefore, it is an ionic compound and a salt.
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 sulfur toning of silver?
The black silver sulfide is formed on the surface of metal.
Is silver sulfide ionic or molecular?
Ionic, since it has silver (metal) and Sulfur (nonmetal).
When silver metal comes in contact with sulfur silver sulfide forms and the silver appears darker what is this?
it is a chemical change
What is the combination of silver and sulfur?
The combination of silver and sulfur is silver sulfide (Ag2S). This is a compound with a metal (silver) and a non-metal (sulfur), so we use the metal's name with the non-metal's name changed to end in -ide.
What is Ag2S in chemistry?
Ag2S is its own compound: silver sulfide.If you mean what elements are in Ag2S, they are silver, and sulfur.
Why is it chemical change when a silver fork tarnishes slowly in air?
Silver sulfide is formed on the surface of the metal.
What is the formula for silver (I) sulfide?
The formula of silver sulfide is Ag2S.
Is a sulfide a metal?
Sulfide is not a metal, it is composed from the element sulfur, which is a non metal.
Is silver sulfide a compound or mixture?
Silver sulfide, Ag2S is a chemical compound.
