Answer:

1. (NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

2. Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

Explanation:

The dissociation of ammonium sulphide, (NH₄)₂S when dissolved in water is given in the equation below:

(NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

However very little S²- ions are present in solution due to the very basic nature of the S²- ion (Kb = 1 x 105).

The ammonium ion being a better proton donor than water, donates a proton to sulphide ion to form hydrosulphide ion which exists in equilibrium with aqueous ammonia.

S²- (aq) + NH₄+ (aq) ⇌ SH- (aq) + NH₃ (aq)

Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide are smelly due to the release of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, hence, their use in making stink bombs.

2. The reaction between aluminium nitrate and sodium phosphatein aqueous solution is a double decomposition reaction whish results in the precipitation of insoluble aluminium phosphate. The equation of the reaction is given below :

Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s) + 3 NaNO₃ (aq)

The net ionic equation is given below:

Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)
