Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : Whether a precipitate forms when sodium sulphide aqueous solution is mixed with copper sulphate aqueous solution or not needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction : During double displacement reaction certain ionic solutions produce undissolved solid residue called precipitate.
The formation of precipitate can be predicted by using solubility rules.
(a)
Answer to Problem 50A
Calcium sulphide precipitate is formed.
Explanation of Solution
When sodium sulphide aqueous solution is mixed with copper sulphate solution, then copper sulphide precipitate is formed.
