Below is a chemical reaction in which two solutions are combined: CdSO4 (aq) + K2S (aq) → CdS(s) + K2SO4 (aq)

a) What does the subscript (s) mean?

b) For cadmium sulfate, write a chemical equation similar to problem 2 showing that cadmium sulfate dissolves in water. Do the same for potassium sulfide. How many ions are present in this solution?

c) Some of these ions react with one another to produce cadmium sulfide. Look up the physical properties of cadmium sulfide. What would you expect to see when you mix cadmium sulfate and potassium sulfide?

d) What is the name for this type of reaction?

e) Potassium sulfate is shown as a soluble product. What ions are still present in solution after the reaction?
