I need to balance this equation:
P2S5 + C18H35(NH2) --> HS- + compound 1 + compound 2
I am told:
compound 1: contains phosphorus and possibly leftover sulfur and "reacts" with amine
compound 2: does not contain phosphorus or sulfur and has to balance out the charge on the hydrosulfide ion
My best guess is P2S5 + C18H35(NH2) --> 5HS- + 2P + C18H33(NH3)+ but clearly there is a problem with the hydrogens and I don't think this is correct.
Please help
