From the following options which one best describes why the acidity of the solution is important for the acid H2S group?  Acid keeps the [S2-] concentration low so that only the acid group precipitates  Acid precipitates out other cations but leaves the acid group in solution Acidity makes the H2S dissociate into H+ and S2- more easily  None of the following since the acidity isn't important, the name implies all the actions are acidic
