Purpose:
Prepare for the lab by answering the following questions. Use complete sentences, avoiding the use of “I” or
“we”. Check with your instructor to see whether you should just respond to the questions or if you should place
your responses in a single paragraph.
1. What is the main topic/concept being investigated today?
2. How will you investigate this topic/concept?
3. Write the main definitions and equations needed for today’s experiment.

(1b) _______ Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + ________ Na2SO4 (aq) → ________ NaNO3 (aq) + ________ PbSO4 (s)
(2a) _______ HCl (aq) + ________ Mg (s) → ________ MgCl2 (aq) + ________ H2 (g)
(2c) _____ HC2H3O2 (aq) + ______ NaHCO3 (s) → ______ NaC2H3O2 (aq) + _____ H2O (l) + _____ CO2 (g)
(3a) _______ NaOH (aq) + ________ HCl (aq) → ________ NaCl (aq) + ________ H2O (l)
(3b) _______ NH4Cl (aq) → ________ NH4+ (aq) + ________ Cl– (aq)
Analysis & Discussion:
1. Which of the above reactions can be classified as precipitation reactions? [You can list by reaction number.]
