Write the molecular formulas for all potential precipitates in the beaker below. Check your formulas against those

Question:

Write the molecular formulas for all potential precipitates in the beaker below.

Nat A1+ NO 3 SO 2 OH Red lines show only new cation/anion combinations.

Check your formulas against those at the end of the chapter. Of the three precipitates possible, only Al(OH)3 is insoluble in water. Therefore, the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction is:

Al+ (aq) + 3OH(aq)  Al(OH)3(s)

If you feel comfortable with this three-solution problem, you are ready to tackle any other precipitation problem.
