Answer:
Since with LiBr no precipitation takes place. So, Ag+ is absent
When we add Li2SO4 to it, precipitation takes place.
Ca2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ----> CaSO4(s) ...Precipitate
Thus, Ca2+ is present.
When Li3PO4 is added, again precipitation takes place.Reaction is:
Co2+(aq) + PO43-(aq)---->Co3(PO4)2(s) ... Precipitate
A. Ca2+ and Co2+ are present in solution
B. Ca2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ----> CaSO4(s)
C. 3Co2+(aq) + 2PO43-(aq)---->Co3(PO4)2(s)
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are bonds formed as a result of the electrostatic attraction between two species.
- This bond type is an interatomic bond.
- It forms when two specie with a large electronegative difference between them combines.
- This is usually a metal and a non-metal.
- The metal loses its valence electrons and becomes positively charged.
- The non-metal gains the electron and becomes negatively charged.
- An electrostatic attraction between the two specie leads to the formation of an ionic bond.
- They are solids with a high melting point.
- They are soluble in polar solvents.
