The two reason behind the invalidity of flame test are false positive and false negative.
while performing the flame test you must have to be accurate otherwise you will get false results may be positive for some element or may be negative in case the element is present. The main reason to get the false positive and false negative is the presence and contamination of sodium.
The quick deployment of the bag which I think is quite similar to a cushion and a balloon. It holds your head/face away from any hard surfaces. Although it does not protect your legs or other extremities that are out of the bags range.
Assuming that the reactants are:
(NH4)2SO4 (aq) + Ba(NO3)2 (aq)
and the products are:
BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq),
then you will have to determine which product is insoluble. You should have access to solubility rules to help you determine this.
According to the solubility rules, the following elements are considered insoluble when paired with SO4:
Sr^2+, Ba^2+, Pb^2+, Ag^2+, and Ca^2+
Therefore, the precipitate will be BaSO4 (s).
The information that a foliated metamorphic rock provide about the conditions it was formed under are:(for many diffrent rocks like Phyllite and Amphibolite)
you can tell by its features like if its smooth and sleek or if its rough and bumpy those physical features.
