Transcribed Image Text:

A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute HCI and no precipitate formed. Next, H₂S was bubbled through the acidic solution. A precipitate formed and was filtered off. Then, the pH was raised to about 8 and H₂S was again bubbled through the solution. A precipitate again formed and was filtered off. Finally, the solution was treated with a sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in no precipitation. Which metal ions were definately present, which were definitely absent, and which may or may not have been present in the orginal mixture? Definitely present Definitely absent Cu²+ Sb³+ Pb2+ Hg₂+ 2+ Mg2+ Hg2+ Ag* Possibly present Ca²+ Mn²+ Fe²+ Al³+ Sn²+ Lit A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute HCI and no precipitate formed.
