Question

Assume we are to tackle a complex equilibria problem using the process we learned in class. In this example, we’re going to look at dissolving CuS in water.  The relevant equilibrium reactions are as follows:

CuS      Cu2+   +   S2–                                                                                                                                  

Cu2+   +   OH      Cu(OH)2

S2–   +   H2O      HS   +   OH–                                                                                                         

 H2O      H+   +   OH

HS   +   H2O      H2S   +   OH

Write 1 charge balance equation.
