Explore how NaCl(aq), Na2SO4(aq), and NaOH(aq) can selectively precipitate Ag+, Ba2+, and Fe3+ ions for separation in a mixture. Create a flow chart using solubility rules and double displacement reactions. Dr. Ron Rusay presents a practical method to isolate metal ions effectively.

Aqueous Solutions & PrecipitatesSeparating Metal Ions / Flow Charts Dr. Ron Rusay
Three solutions, NaCl(aq), Na2SO4(aq), and NaOH(aq), are available to selectively precipitate certain metal ions in a mixture. Use them in an order that will precipitate a solution of Ag+, Ba2+, and Fe3+ one at a time, allowing separation and isolation of each of the ions from the mixture. Make a flow chart to illustrate the general procedure.
Use the following solubility information to plan the flow chart for the separation scheme of the solution of Ag+, Ba2+, and Fe3+ Reagents: , NaCl(aq), Na2SO4(aq), and NaOH(aq) Consider double displacement reactions and the solubility of the products. An example of a possible first step is given on the next slide.
