State how you would test a solution for the presence of sulfate ions? Explain, using an ionic equation, what you would expect to observe in the presence of sulfate ions.

You would add barium chloride solution to the sample to be tested. Group II sulfate solubility decreases down the group - with barium sulfate being insoluble. We would expect to see a heavy white precipit...

Iron is found in the Earth as iron oxide (Fe2O3). Iron oxide is reduced to produce iron. Balance the equation for the reaction. _Fe2O3 + _C → _Fe + _ CO2

Balancing means that you have the same number of atom on one side as you do on the other. The reason for balancing is because atoms are not lost or created during a reaction. Keep in mind that when you ba...
