Question

A solution of K2SO4 and KCl is added to a solution of Ba(NO3)2. Which of these compounds will precipitate out of this combined solution

Answer 1

A solution of K2SO4 and KCl is added to a solution of Ba(NO3)2. BaS0₄ (s) will precipitate out of this combined solution.

Molecular equation

K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)  → BaSO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)?

This equation represents a double displacement (replacement) reaction, also called a metathesis reaction, in which the reactant ions exchange places to form new products. The general equation is:

A-B + C-D → A-D + C-B;

where A and C are cations, and B and D are anions.

Complete ionic equation: Includes all ions and the precipitate.

2K^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) + 2[NO3]^-(aq) → 2K^+(aq) + 2[NO3]^- + BaSO4(s)

In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the process of transforming a dissolved substance into an insoluble solid from a super-saturated solution.

The solid formed is called the precipitate. In case of an inorganic chemical reaction leading to precipitation, the chemical reagent causing the solid to form is called the precipitant.
