Based off the salt levels in each water.
Answer:
a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
Answer:
the ion present in the original solution is Ca2+
Explanation:
Precipitation reactions occur when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate.
<u>Step1</u> : If we add Nacl to the solution, there is no precipitate formed
⇒The only possible ion that can form a precipate with Cl- is Ag+; since there is no precipitate formed, Ag+ is not present
<u>Step2</u> : If we add Na2SO4 to the solution, a white precipitate is formed
The possible ions to bind at SO42- are Ca2+ and Fe2+
But the white precipitate formed, points in the direction of Ca2+
⇒This means calcium is present
<u>Step3</u> : If we add Na2CO3 to the filtered solution, there is a precipate formed
Ca2+ will bind also with CO32- and form a precipitate
So the ion present in the original solution is Ca2+
