The work has not been graded but I like the output that was submitted to me. Is it possible for the same prof to do the next assignment I will be submitting? If possible, I will greatly appreciate it.
Q7. Dr Entropy has a water sample containing both phosphate and sulfate, and the five solutions
shown here:
(i) Explain how the two anions (phosphate and sulfate) could be separated making use of the solutions above and an equipment like a Büchner funnel that can collect precipitated solids on a filter while allowing the remaining solution to pass through into a flask.
(Hint: Refer to the solubility table at the end of this document to determine what could be added to precipitate only one of the two anions.)
(ii) In your answer show balanced chemical reaction equation for any relevant precipitation reaction, including the states of all chemical species.
