No. "2Ag + S" (two silver plus sulphur) refers to threeseparate molecules: two of silver and one of sulphur. Ag2S (silver sulphide) refers to one molecule composed of two silver atoms and one sulphur atom bonded together. They're the same atoms if that's what you're asking, but they've undergone a chemical change.

Does anode gain mass?

I'm not completely certain about this but I'm convinced that an anode actually loses mass. For example, in the cell equations for an Ag(s) cathode being dipped into an AgNO3 solution, connected to a Cu(s) anode being dipped into a Cu(NO3)2 solition, 2Ag+(aq) + 2e- -> 2Ag(s) (Cathode 1/2 reaction, reduction) Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) +2e- (Anode 1/2 reaction, oxidation) , the cathode reaction is taking the Ag+(aq) ions in the AgNO3- solution and turning them into solid silver, Ag(s). Therefore, I believe it is correct to assume that solid silver is being formed in the cathode solution. The anode half reaction however is the opposite, taking a solid copper atom, Cu(s), and turning it into an aqueous copper cation, Cu2+(aq). This leads me to believe that the copper rod (anode) is losing mass. So, I believe the cathode is gaining mass and the anode is losing mass.

How do you know if a word is a synonym or antonym?

A synonym is two words that have the exact same meaning. I think of the s in synonym to remember because same also begins with an s. Antonym means two words that are total opposites. I hope this helped you out!

How do you balance silver plus sulfur?

To balance silver plus sulfur, you would need to write the chemical equation for the reaction between silver and sulfur. Then, adjust the coefficients of each reactant to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. This will give you the balanced equation for the reaction between silver and sulfur.

Zn(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) --> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) is a single displacement reaction. It is also called a single replacement reaction. As you can see, the zinc displaced, or replaced, the silver in the silver nitrate solution.


How are coefficients used to balance chemical equations?

Coefficients in front of chemical formulas are used to balance chemical equations by ensuring that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation. By adjusting the coefficients, you can keep the law of conservation of mass intact, showing that no atoms are created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.
