Identify the Complete Ionic Equation for the Reaction (If Any)

question 61

Multiple Choice

Identify the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of lithium sulfide and copper(II) nitrate are mixed.

• A) Li⁺(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) + Cu⁺(aq) + NO₃^-(aq) → CuS(s) + Li⁺(aq) + NO₃^-(aq)
• B) Li⁺(aq) + S^-(aq) + Cu⁺(aq) + NO₃^-(aq) → CuS(s) + LiNO₃(aq)
• C) 2Li⁺(aq) + S^2-(aq) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) → Cu²⁺(aq) + S^2-(aq) + 2LiNO₃(s)
• D) 2Li⁺(aq) + S^2-(aq) + Cu²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq) → CuS(s) + 2Li⁺(aq) + 2NO₃^-(aq)
• E) No reaction occurs.
