Lab #7 Precipitation Reactions
2Na+ + SO42-
Add the 2 aqueous solutions together:
 The
ions are able to intermingle
 There may be an attraction, that results in a
reaction (energetically favorable)
 Possible Reactions include
Formation of a gas
 Formation of water

 Formation
4
of a Precipitate (ppt.)
Lab #7 Precipitation Reactions
How do I know what formed??
In reaction A you started with Barium Nitrate and
Sodium Sulfate
There is a reaction as evidenced by the white
precipitate
 What is it?
Barium Sulfate OR Sodium Nitrate?

You must do some detective work

Barium Sulfate OR Sodium Nitrate?

Is there any place else that
BaSO4 could have formed?

Is there any place else
where NaNO3 could have
formed?
YES
Yes
In Reaction B
In Reaction G
What happened in each reaction?
If an ion pair forms a ppt. in one reaction, assume they will get
together any chance they get!

The ‘intermingling’ has caused a
Other ‘non-reacting’ ions remain

soluble…. Still in solution

The barium ions and
the sulfate ions have an
attraction to each other,
they form a solid
compound and “fall”
out of solution as a
precipitate

Sodium sulfate + Barium Chloride react to form Solid barium sulfate
and Sodium chloride
2 Na+ (aq) + SO42- (aq) + Ba2+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq) 
BaSO4 (s) + 2 Na+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq)
NaCl is a strong electrolyte, so it does not combine to form a solid
