Question 21.2: When a solution containing Cu^2+ is treated with hydrogen su...
When a solution containing Cu^{2+} is treated with hydrogen sulfide, a black precipitate forms. When another portion of the solution is treated with ammonia, a blue precipitate forms. This precipitate dissolves in excess ammonia to form a deep blue solution containing the {Cu(NH_{3})_{4}}^{2+} ion. Write balanced net ionic equations to explain these observations.
