Question:

An engineer working on a design to extract petroleum from a deep thermal reservoir wishes to capture toxic hydrogen sulfide gases present by reaction with aqueous iron(II) nitrate to form solid iron(II) sulfide. 

(a) Write the chemical equation for this process, assuming that it reaches equilibrium. 

(b) What is the equilibrium constant expression for this system?

(c) How can the process be manipulated so that it does not reach equilibrium, allowing the continuous removal of hydrogen sulfide?
