Given the two reactions
  1. H2S(aq)⇌HS−(aq)+H+(aq),  H2S(aq)⇌HS−(aq)+H+(aq),   K1K1K_1 = 9.78×10−8, and
  2. HS−(aq)⇌S2−(aq)+H+(aq),  HS−(aq)⇌S2−(aq)+H+(aq),   K2K2K_2 = 1.43×10−19,
what is the equilibrium constant KfinalKfinalK_final for the following reaction?

S2−(aq)+2H+(aq)⇌H2S(aq)S2−(aq)+2H+(aq)⇌H2S(aq)

Enter your answer numerically.
Expert Solution
Step 1

The two given reactions are - 

  1. H2S(aq)  ⇌  HS-(aq)  +  H+(aq)                                        K1 = 9.78×10−8
  2. HS-(aq)   ⇌  S2-(aq) +H+(aq)                                            K2 = 1.43×10−19

The  equilibrium constant expression for the given reactions are -

K1 = [HS-][H+][H2S]9.78 × 10-8 = [HS-][H+][H2S]

K2 = [S2-][H+][HS-]1.43 × 10-19 =  [S2-][H+][HS-]
