Ammonia gas, NH₃, and hydrogen sulfide gas, H₂S, react together to form the salt ammonium sulfide, (NH₄)₂S. Ammonium sulfide dissolves in water to produce an orange alkaline solution. (NH₄)₂S(aq) ⇌ NH₃(aq) + NH₄SH(aq) The addition of NaOH(aq) to this solution produces a gas, X. The addition of HCl(aq) to a separate portion of this solution produces a gas, Y. What are the identities of X and Y? X Y H₂S H₂S H₂S NH₃ NH₃ H₂S NH₃ NH₃
✓ Correct answer
C: NH₃ H₂S
