`HgS` is soluble in aqua regia forming `HgCl_(2)`. What happens if Cu turnings are added to `HgCl_(2)`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the reaction between `HgCl2` and copper turnings, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reactants We start with mercuric chloride (`HgCl2`), which is formed when `HgS` is dissolved in aqua regia. The other reactant is copper (Cu) turnings. ### Step 2: Write the Reaction When copper is added to mercuric chloride, a chemical reaction occurs. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: \[ \text{HgCl}_2 + \text{Cu} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{Hg} \] ...
