Question

1. Suppose you have an aqueous solution which is a mixture of barium and calcium cations. What reagent would you add to separate these two ions, and what happens when this reagent is added?

2. Suppose you have aqueous solution which is a mixture of chloride and sulfate anions. What reagent could you add to separate these two anions, and what happens when this reagent it added? 1.

Explanation / Answer

1) By adding H2SO4 barium ions gets precipitates but not Ca+2. because Baso4 insoluble in water .

2) By adding silver nitrate Chloride ion gets precipitates but not sulfate. because AgCl is in soluble in water
