Question

Suppose hydrogen sulfide is added to a solution that is 0.10 M in Cu2+, Pb2+, and Ni2+such that the concentration of H2S is 0.10 M. When the pH of the solution is adjusted to 1.00, a precipitate forms. What is the composition of the precipitate?
H2S(aq) + 2H2O(l) 2H3O+(aq) + S2-(aq); Kc= 1.1 x10-20
