Question

Sodium carbonate solution reacts with strontium chloride solution. Predict whether the reaction will produce will produce a precipitate.

A) No, all products are soluble because all reactants are soluble
B) No, all products are soluble because they each contain metal and nonmetal components
C) yes, strontium chloride will precipitate because each ion is polyvalent
D) yes, both sodium chloride and strontium chloride will precipitate because they both contain metals

Answer 1

Can anyone help me figure this out? What makes a reaction form a precipitate?? Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice (:

Answer 2

what products do you expect when NaCO3 reacts with SrCl2 can you write the reaction equation

Answer 3

I'm not too good at this but I'll attempt to write the correct equation. I think it has to be a double displacement so...
NaCO3 + SrCl2 --> NaCl2 + SrCO3
...does that look right?

Answer 4

Sr(CO3)2 and NaCl are formed and
Sr(CO3)2 is insoluble i just checked the wiki hence it will precipitate :)

Answer 5

in option C is it Strontium carbonate or chloride please check once again :)

Answer 6

So it's C? Because NaCl is soluble. And in option C is strontium carbonate

Answer 7

yaaaa

Answer 8

Thank you so much :)

Answer 9

ur welcome :)
