The information in Table 2 is required to answer Q7 and 8.
ANIONS SOLUBLE SLIGHTLY SOLUBLE INSOLUBLE

HYDROXIDES (OH-) Group I, Ba2+ Ca2+, Sr2+ All others

CARBONATES (CO32-) Group I except Li+ Li+ All others

HALIDES (F-, Cl-, Br-) Most Pb2+, Ag+, Hg+

NITRATES (NO3-) All

SULFATES (SO42-) Most Ca2+, Ag+ Ba2+, Pb2+

Question 7. (B standard)

John and Kim have accidentally mixed two substances - Sodium Fluoride and
Silver (II) Nitrate - and created flecks of white precipitate in their solution.

a) Write a word equation for this reaction.

(Word equations use only the full name of chemicals,
eg. Hydrogen + Oxygen = Water)

b) John believes the precipitate is Silver Fluoride, while Kim

believes it is Sodium Nitrate.
Who is correct? Use the table to explain your answer.

Question 8. (A standard)

After cleaning up the laboratory, you find two unmarked bottles with torn
labels on the floor. One of the solutions must contain Barium (Ba2+) and the
other contains Silver (Ag+).

a) Using the solubility table, how could you determine

which chemical is which using an experiment?

b) Show the balanced chemical equations for your solution.

Question 9. (A standard)

Ben and Steph are investigating how fast a pill can dissolve in water. They
both hypothesized that the pill would dissolve fastest at 100C because heat
would increase the rate of dissolution. The results they collected are given in
the following table.

a) Graph the results on a table. Make sure to label your axes.

b) Do the results the pair obtained support their hypothesis? Support

your response with evidence.

c) How could their experiment be improved?
