Consider a solution with an unknown salt. When dilute solutions of Na2SO4, NaCl, and Na2S were added to the solution, all form a precipitate. Identify the cation that the solution contains.
The following results are obtained when an aqueous solution of cation (green spheres) and anion (orange spheres) is mixed:
Which of the following pairs of cation and anion are consistent with what has been observed? Explain
Cations: K+, Cu+, Pb2+, Co3+
Anions: NO3−, Cl−, S2–, AsO43−
An aqueous solution contains Pb2+, Ca2+, and K+. Identify the reagents that can be used to separate these cations.
Incomplete combustion of natural gases results in the production of CO (g) as the only carbon-containing product. Choose the balanced chemical equation for the incomplete combustion of ethane (C2H6).
Order the following reactions according to their types: redox, precipitation, neutralization.
1. NaOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → H2O (l) + NaBr (aq)
2. MgSO4 (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + PbSO4 (s)
3. 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g) → 2 NaCl (s)
