The poisonous gas hydrogen sulfide, H2S, can be neutralized with a base such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH. The unbalanced equation for this reaction follows: NaOH(aq) H2S(g) → Na2S(aq) H2O(l) A student who was asked to balance this equation wrote the following: Na2OH(aq) H2S(g) → Na2S(aq) H3O(l) Is this equation balanced? Is it correct? Explain why or why not, and supply the correct balanced equation if necessary
