What is the Net Ionic Equation for Nickel Nitrate and Lithium Sulfide?

[ccmetz2020]

1. A solution of nickel nitrate is added to a solution of lithium sulfide. (you MUST write as a Net Ionic if appropriate).
a. BALANCED EQUATION
b. Which substance is being oxidized?

2. none really

3. I don't really have much of an attempt because it doesn't specify in the question whether I'm dealing with nickel (ii) nitrate or nickel (iii) nitrate. I know that nitrate is soluble so the answer will be a net ionic equation, but the balanced equation is hard for me to figure out. Could anyone help me here?

I bet they mean Ni(II).

What do you know about sulfides?

Nevermind. It was a trick question, nothing is being oxidized. It isn't a redox reaction!

 

[Borek]

That was obvious

Question is - do you know what reaction DOES take place?
