Question
Which ions present in the example?
Ba2+
Ca2+
O Mg2+
ONH4
Transcribed Image Text:Ba2+ Ca2+ O Mg2+ ONH4
to answer the following question. An unknown sample is tested with ammonium
sulfate, (NH4),SO. There was no precipitate, so the sample is tested with
ammonium oxalate, (NH4)2C204. A white precipitate formed. The test tube was
centrifuged and the clear liquid was decanted to another test tube. To the clear liquid
sodium monohydrogen phosphate, Na,HPO4, and a few drops of sodium hydroxide,
NaOH, were added. A white precipitate was formed, which was again centrifuged
and decanted. The resulting solid was dissolved with hydrochloric acid, HCI, a
magnesium indicator was added, as well as a few drops of sodium hydroxide. The
resulting solution was centrifuged, and a blue puddle was pulled to the bottom of the
test tube. A fresh sample of the unknown was also tested with sodium hydroxide, the
piece of litmus paper stayed pink and did not change color. Which ions are present in
the sample? Check all that apply.
