Question:

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous nitric acid and aqueous strontium sulfide are mixed.

Solubility of Metal Sulfides:

The solubility rule states that all the metal sulfides are usually insoluble in water except for sulfides of group IA metals and some group IIA metals (e.g., Mg, Ca, Ba and Sr). The insoluble sulfides possess sufficient covalent character due to the high polarizability of the sulfide ion that resists their water solubility.
