Predicting Precipitation: ALEKS Answer

Only potassium sulfide with lead(II) nitrate forms a precipitate, PbS. The barium nitrate/acetate and iron(II) chloride/nickel(II) sulfate pairs remain soluble.

Question

Predicting precipitationComplete the table below by deciding whether a precipitate forms when aqueous solutions A and B are mixed. If a precipitate forms, enter its empirical formula in the last column.1. Potassium sulfide + lead(II) nitrate2. Barium nitrate + sodium acetate3. Iron(II) chloride + nickel(II) sulfateFor each row, state Yes or No and, when Yes, give the precipitate's empirical formula.

Evidence boundary

The predictions apply to the three aqueous pairs in the locked question version and use the standard qualitative solubility guidelines expected for introductory chemistry. They do not model unusual concentrations, temperature-dependent solubility, complex-ion formation, or kinetic effects not specified in the prompt.
