Video transcript

Hello, everyone in this video, we want to know what region can be used to separate the cat eons of any plus and A D. Plus. We have to provide the net ionic equation for the reaction. So we're given these three different options here. So for our first one we have hcl, so any cl is soluble where A C. L. Is insoluble. The next ionic equation here for this is going to be we have the A. G plus, which is Aquarius reacting with the C. L minus, which is Aquarius. And what this yield is going to be a solid precipitate. And that is a gcl. There's a solid now for options B and C. Here. This reaction of the N A N 03 and a G N 03 are going to be soluble. So B is not going to be in her answer choice. And for see here of hcl 04, N A C O for an A G cell for our soluble. So that's also not going to be our answer. So again, the question is reading which reagent can be used to separate the cantons of N A plus and a G plus. And we know that answer choice is the best and most proper fitting for our answer
