Answer is only B.
<span>it becomes more stable</span>
You didn’t show the cylinder containing water, so I created one that you can use as a model (see image).
The water level was originally at 37 mL.
Then you added the ball, and it displaced its volume of water.
The new volume reading is 52 mL, so
Volume of ball = volume of displaced water = 52 mL – 37 mL = 15 mL.
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
