Answer:

Barium nitrate or silver nitrate based on the anion our solute contains

Explanation:

I assume the situation is that currently the solute is soluble in water and you wish to make it insoluble.

It really depends on the soluble material you have, however, let's look at some specific cases.

We have a salt in our solution. Addition of any of the three reagents will produce a double displacement reaction, that is, our cation will be replaced by another cation, either sodium, barium or silver cation.
According to the solubility rules, all sodium salts are soluble, so sodium nitrate won't precipitate our anion.
In case our solute contains sulfate, carbonate or phosphate, we may use barium nitrate to precipitate it, as barium sulfate, barium carbonate and barium phosphate are insoluble.
In case our solute contains chloride, then silver nitrate is the way to go to precipitate it in an insoluble form of AgCl. Similarly, silver would form precipitates with carbonate, phosphate, iodide, bromide and slightly soluble silver sulfate (barium is the choice for sulfate, however).

When adding or subtracting deelmals, how many digits should the answer contain?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Depends, but in most cases, 2.

It's best to use as many digits as possible to keep it accurate.

Explanation:

This varies between teachers, as most schools go with 2 decimal places.

This is something that depends in your situation.

You technically want as many decimals as possible to keep it as accurate, but most people stick with 2.

I personally do 3, and commonly do 5 sometimes.

Explain the following phenomena. why Fluorine has lower electron affinity than chlorine

Radda [10]

Electron affinity for fluorine is than chlorine most likely , due to the electron repulsion that occur between the electron where n= 2 . the elements in the second period have such small electron clouds that electron repulsion is greater than that of the rest of the family.
