If you use silver nitrate, silver sulphate will be formed upon reaction which is soluble is water (colourless solution), so how will you be able to know that sulphate ions were initially present in the solution by visual observation? You have to use barium nitrate because it gives a white precipitate of barium sulphate when it reacts with sulphate ions, thereby indicating the presence of sulphate ions.Adzy1794 said:can somebody please help me with this question fast cuz I have my Chem atp paper on the 25th.In the test to find out if sulphate ions are present in a precipitate we add dil. nitric acid and then aq. Barium nitrate.I wanted to ask if we can add aq Silver nitrate instead of barium nitrate cause all nitrates are water soluble.Please someone help me!
