Do the following reactions form precipitate? Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CrO4(aq) Mg(NO3)2(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) Na2CrO4(aq) + AgNO3(aq) If so, what is the precipitate? (:
Precipitation Reactions occur when cations and anions of aqueous solutions combine to form an insoluble ionic solid, called a precipitate. Whether or not such a reaction occurs can be determined by using the solubility rules for common ionic solids. Since not all aqueous reactions form precipitates, one must consult the solubility rules before determining the state of the products and writing a net ionic equation. Being able to predict these reactions allows scientists to calculate what ions are present in a solution, and allows industries to form chemicals by extracting certain elements from these reactions. http://chemwiki.ucdavis.edu/Inorganic_Chemistry/Reactions_in_Aqueous_Solutions/Precipitation_Reactions
Can you complete the Following equations ???
@Thriller
@Thriller try swapping the anions (-ve ions) of the compounds which are reacting with each other. Then look at a solubility chart, and you'll know whether or not the products are insoluble or soluble. Have you used a solubility chart before?
@Thriller so you know what the products are?
