Coupled equilibria question
« on: January 08, 2021, 12:02:18 PM »
 A 0.125-M solution of Mn(NO3)2 is saturated with H2S([H2S]=0.10 M). At what pH, does MnS begin to precipitate?

MnS(s) ::equil:: Mn2+ (aq) + S2- (aq) Ksp= 4.3 × 10-22

H2S (aq) + 2H2O (l)  ::equil:: 2H3O+ (aq) + S2- (aq) K=1.0× 10-26

  I am now studying coupled equilibria chapter to answer this question.  Your guidance would be helpful.

 I found the answer to this question on the other chemistry educational website on internet, but i don't understand the meaning of highlighted area. What is K1 K2 (H2S)?

K1 and K2 are the two ionisation constants of H2S:
H2S + H2::equil:: H3O+ + HS- K = K1
HS- + H2::equil:: H3O+ + S2-  K = K2
