A. Distilled water had no precipitate because it contains almost no ions. Tap water and bottled
water had similar amounts of precipitate because both contain ions that precipitate with silver
ions.
B. The use of road salt in the winter increases the amount of chloride ions in water.
C. Bottled water had the most precipitate while distilled water had none. The amount of
precipitate observed in tap water and bottled water will vary depending on the sources of the
water.
D. A natural source of calcium ions in water is limestone and other calcium-containing rock.

7. Silver ions are the only metal ions that can be precipitated from a solution containing the
C2H3O2− ions. Therefore, a solution such as NaC2H3O2(aq) can be used to precipitate silver ions
from a mixture of dissolved metal ions.
8. Answers may vary. Sample answer: Most of the limescale that forms in a kettle is calcium
carbonate, CaCO3. An acid such as acetic acid (vinegar), HC2H3O2, reacts with calcium
carbonate and therefore removes the limescale from the kettle coil. The reaction is a double
displacement reaction and is represented by this chemical equation:
CaCO3(s) + 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
or
CaCO3(s) + 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Ca(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2O (l) + CO2(g)

9. Answers may vary. Sample answer: A black smoker is a hot water vent found on the ocean
floor. These structures are formed by superheated water from deep in the earth. As this water
moves upward through Earth’s crust, it dissolves minerals, particularly sulfide compounds. As
this hot mixture exits through the vent in the ocean floor, it quickly cools, causing sulfide
compounds to precipitate, producing plumes of solid, black suspended particles.
