Question

A scientist is investigating the solubility of two polyatomic ions, oxalate (C2O2−4C2⁢O42−) and arsenate (AsO3−4AsO43−), which are not listed in the table of solubility guidelines.

The scientist starts with four solutions made of water-soluble salts. Solution A contains sodium arsenate. Solution B contains ammonium oxalate. Soution C contains silver chlorate. Solution D contains aluminum bromide.

Solution Solute Color of Solution
A Na3AsO4Na3⁢AsO4 colorless
B (NH4)2C2O4(NH4)2⁢C2⁢O4 colorless
C AgClO3AgClO3 colorless
D AlBr3AlBr3 yellow

The results of mixing each solution in pairs are shown in the table.

Experiment Solutions Mixed Result
1 A + B no precipitate, colorless solution
2 A + C brown precipitate
3 A + D white precipitate
4 B + C white precipitate
5 B + D white precipitate
6 C + D yellow precipitate

Identify the formula for each precipitate that forms.
