How can you detect the presence of the SO4-2?

Firstly add some AgNO3. You should see that no precipitate forms. If it forms a precipitate, it is not a SO42-.Then add some BaCl2 - If there are SO42- ions a white precipitate will form.


Which is the common ion when sodium sulfate is added to a solution of barium sulfate?

SO42-


An aqueous solution BaCl2 is added to NaSO4 what reaction occurs?

Only Ba2+ and SO42- react, while Na+ and Cl- don't.Ba2+ + SO42- --> (BaSO4)s


What product is created from combining barium chloride and sodium sulfate?

Potassium and nitrate don't react, stay unchanged as hydrated ions in solution, called spectator ions. Only sulfate and barium ions react by precipitating to solid. (SO42-)aq + (Ba2+)aq --> (BaSO4)s :)


Write a balanced chemical equation for ammonium sulfate and barium chloride?

NH4+ and Cl- don't react, Only SO42- and Ba2+ do so by forming precipitate: SO42- + Ba2+ --> (BaSO4)s


What happens when an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate reacts with an aqua solution of barium chloride?

The immediate response is a milky appearance. After 5-10 minutes a precipitate of BaSO4 will settle out of solution. You will obtain a cloudy, white precipitate that will remain so infantily. This is a precipitation reaction (the formation of an insoluble salt from a solution of soluble ones) which occurs because barium sulfate is insoluble, so when mixed, the barium ions react with the sulfate ions to form a white precipitate of barium sulfate The net ionic equation is: Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ----> BaSO4(s)


What is the balanced equation for the reaction occurring when ammonium sulfate combines with barium nitrate?

NH4+ and NO3- don't react, Only SO42- and Ba2+ do so by forming precipitate: SO42- + Ba2+ --> (BaSO4)s


How do you test for sulphate ions?

add barium chloride or barium nitrate to a solution containing sulphate ions SO4 2-. To the same solution add hydrochloric acid in excess. OBSERVATIONS, a white precipitate which is insoluble in excess acid confirms presence of SO42- IF IT DISSOLVES then it confirms SO32- ----------------------------------------- 1) Add barium nitrate solution under acidic conditions (use an equal volume of hydrochloric acid) to the unknown solution 2) A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms if sulphate ions are present


What is the balanced in an acidic solution?

So42- + 4H+ + 2e- goes to SO2(g) + 2H20(I)


What is balanced in an acidic solution?

So42- + 4H+ + 2e- goes to SO2(g) + 2H20(I)


Which reagents do you use to test for negative ions?

There is not a special test for negative ions IN GENERAL. However there are many possibillities for negative ions of each kind in particular: Example: test on Cl- : add silver nitrate: AgCl precipitate test on S2-: add drop of dilute acid: smell of rotten eggs (H2S) test on SO42-: add BaCl2 solution: BaSO4 precipitate


What ion will most likely form a precipitate when reacted with SO42?

You didn't provide an ion. So since it's a positive most likely a negative ion.
