Silver tarnish is the result of silver metal reacting with sulfur compounds, such as H2S, in the air. The tarnish on silverware (Ag2S) can be removed by soaking in a solution of NaHCO3(baking soda) in a basin lined with aluminum foil.
1) State a balanced equation for the tarnishing of Ag2S. do not include phases
2) Explain how many electrons are transferred per mole of silver?
3) State a balanced reaction for the reaction of Ag2S with Al metal and H2O to produce Al(OH)3,H2S and Ag metal.
