suppose you have a solution that might contain any or all of the following cations: Cu2+, Ag+,Ba2+ and Mn2+. The addition of HBr

causes a precipitate form. after the precipitate is separated by filtration, H2SO4 is added to the supernatant liquid, and another precipitate forms.

The solution formed a precipitate when HBr is added. This indicates that the cation present would be silver ion(Ag^{+}) as silver forms an insoluble precipitate with bromide ion.

The equation representing the formation of silver bromide precipitate is:

Ag^{+}(aq)+HBr(aq)-->AgBr(s)+H^{+}(aq)

Bromides of all the other cations,Cu^{2+},Ag^{+},Ba^{2+},Mn^{2+}are soluble in aqueous solutions.

After removing the precipitate of AgBr by filtration, the supernatant solution is treated with H_{2}SO_{4}and another precipitate forms. This would be due to the presence of Ba^{2+}ions as barium sulfate is an insoluble precipitate.

The equation representing the formation of barium sulfate precipitate is:

Ba^{2+}(aq)+H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)-->BaSO_{4}(s)+2H^{+}(aq)

Of the given cations, only Ag+ forms both an insoluble bromide and sulfate, leading to precipitatoin; therefore, the ion present must be Ag+.

Which phrase best describes the path of a light wave?
VikaD [51]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Light waves travel in straight paths called rays. Unlike sound, where waves have to travel through matter to be heard, light waves do not have to travel through matter to be seen. Instead, rays travel in a straight path until they hit an object. A ray's straight path is the path of light
