Question

Which solution will form a precipitate when mixed with a solution of aqueous na2co3? which solution will form a precipitate when mixed with a solution of aqueous ? nh4cl(aq) k2so4(aq) nabr(aq) cucl2(aq)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$CuCl_{2}(aq.)$ will form a precipitate of insoluble $CuCO_{3}$ when aqueous $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ is added.

Explanation:

According to solubility rule-

all carbonates are insoluble except group IA compounds and $NH_{4}^{+}$

all salts of sodium are soluble

When $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ is added to given solutions, a double displacement reaction takes place in each solution to form a sodium salt and a carbonate salt.

So, in accordance with solubility rule, addition of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ into $CuCl_{2}(aq.)$ will result precipitation of insoluble $CuCO_{3}$

Reaction: $Na_{2}CO_{3}(aq.)+CuCl_{2}(aq.)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq.)+CuCO_{3}(aq.)$
