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!
If Assuming all orbitals are the same in energy level which type of orbital has the lowest energy?
The s orbital has the lowest energy level.
How do you balance silver plus sulfur?
2Ag + S --> Ag2S
How are coefficients used to balance chemical equations?
In a chemical equation, the coefficients tell you how much you need of each molecule or atom, to balance the equation.
What is the oxidation state of Silver Sulfide Ag2S?
ag is + s is -2
Silver tranishing is a chemical change?
yes it is Ag plus S (Sulfur found in the atmosphere) yeilds Ag2S silver sulfide
How much silver can be produced from 125 grams of Ag2S?
1 mol Ag/ 107.87g Ag ---/---------------------------------------- x2=215.74g Ag / 1mol Ag 1 mol S/32.07g S --------/------------------------------------32.07g S /1 mol S total=247.81g Ag2S 215.47g Ag/247.81=.8706 87.06% Ag .8706 or 87.06% Ag x 125g Ag2S = 108.83g Ag can be produced from Ag2S
Classify each what reactions as combination decomposition displacement or double displacement reaction Zn s plus 2AgNO3 aq ---- Zn NO3 2 plus 2Ag s?
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.
What type of reaction is 16 Ag plus S8 equals 8 Ag2S?
The above reaction is a combination type reaction between silver (Ag) and sulfur (S)
What is the chemical equation of the tarnish of silver?
2 Ag + S = Ag2S
Net ionic equation of silver nitrate and potassium chromate?

What is the compound formula for silver and sulfur?
Ag2SMainly Silver(I) Sulfide = Ag2S
Is Ag2S ionic or nonionic?
Ag2S is Ionic. If it has a Non-Metal and a Metal it is Ionic. If it only contains non-metals it is noniconic. Well that simple rule is OK- however a better guess is made if you conside the electronegativities of Ag and S - they are quite close (they need to be well apart for ionic bonding) so Ag2S has considerable covalent character.
What is the equation of silver sulfide forms when silver and sulfur react?
The molecular formula for Silver sulfide is Ag2S
