Hi everyone for this problem we're going to be finding the compound that comes from the combination of C. 03 plus and asked to minus so to write this out we have C. 03 plus Reacting with S 2 -. And what we're looking for here is the product of these two. So for this reaction all we need to do is switch the charges of the two elements so the three will come over to S. And the two will come over to see oh when you combine them you get C. O. To remember, it goes from the top to the bottom S. Three. So this is the product of this reaction and it's also our answer to this problem. I hope this video helped you out and I'll see you in the next one.
