Question
Which of the following pairs of aqueous solutions, when mixed, would result in the formation of a precipitate?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Na₂SO₄ and Ba(NO₃)₂ react to form BaSO₄, which is insoluble in water and precipitates. The other combinations do not produce an insoluble product (or produce a soluble one).
Hint
Check solubility rules: sulfates are generally soluble except with Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ca²⁺, etc.
