Silver + Sulfur Balanced Equation

The chemical formula for silver is Ag, while the chemical formula for sulfur is S. When silver and sulfur react together, they can form a compound known as silver sulfide, with the chemical formula Ag2S.

The balanced equation for the reaction between silver and sulfur is:

2Ag + S → Ag2S

In this equation, the coefficients in front of each chemical formula indicate the relative amounts of each substance that are involved in the reaction. The coefficient of 2 in front of the Ag means that two atoms of silver are required to react with one atom of sulfur to form one molecule of silver sulfide.

To balance the equation, one needs to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation. In this case, there are two Ag atoms on the left side and two Ag atoms on the right side, as well as one S atom on both sides. Therefore, the equation is balanced.
