You can use a precipitation reaction to separate two metal ions by taking advantage of their different solubilities. By adding a reactant that forms an insoluble precipitate with one of the metal ions, it will selectively remove that metal ion from the solution, leaving behind the other metal ion. The precipitate can then be filtered out and the remaining solution can be further processed or tested for the presence of the other metal ion.

What do you call insoluble salts that form in a solution?
For example by the reaction of an acid with a metal, the reaction of two salts, etc.
What time of reaction is- metal oxide -- metal plus oxygen?
It is a decomposition reaction
What kind of reaction is used in electroplating?
The principal reaction is the reduction of a metal cation; this metal is deposed on the "electrode".
What type of reaction is Al plus 3Hg(CH3)2 yields Al(CH3) plus 3Hg?
This reaction is called "metal-metal exchange reaction".
How would you separate iron metal from aluminum metal?
With a magnet.

What reaction will a metal have if it has no reaction with air?
This metal is not oxidized.
What gases could have evolved during the reaction of sulfuric acid and metal?
Hydrogen. Acid plus metal is always hydrogen.
What do mean by precipitation gravimetry?
The mass of the precipitate obtained after a chemical reaction is used to calculate the percentage of a metal or anion. The concentration of one reactant and the formula of the product are considered as known.
What reaction will you be taking out if your metal is copper?
what reaction would be taken out if you had copper as your metal
What time of reaction is- metal oxide -- metal plus oxygen?
It is a decomposition reaction
What could you use to separate that mixtures that can't be separated using a sieve?
A filter? Maybe a magnet (if its metal)
A box contains a collection of metal objects from a tomb How do you separate iron objects from metal objects?
You could use a magnet to separate a collection of metal objects from a tomb. Iron object and other ferrous metals will stick to the magnet while some other types of metals will not.
Is sulfur a metal or a non-metal after the reaction with iron?
non-metal
What is the reaction of metal with non-metal?
A reaction between a metal and a non-metal is an ionic bond. The metal "gives away" one (or more) of its electrons to become stable. The non-metal "accepts" them.
Silver metal reaction with copper metal?
Alloy
