Just about the only thing you could get from mixing ionic solutions like this that don't contain any acids is a precipitate. So let's look at the possible combinations of cations and anions we could get: 1. Na+ and SO42- 2. Mg2+ and CO32- Even though sulfate is known to form precipitates from time to time, the first combination will not form a precipitate. Sodium (and all the alkali metals) are soluble with just about every anion. Carbonate is notoriously insoluble with compounds, and so you do get a precipitate from the second combination. That precipiate is MgCO3.

Is the solution of epsom salts prepared by dissolving magnesium sulfate heptahydrate in water is added to a solution containing sodium lauryl sulfate will a precipitate form?

Yes, a precipitate may form because magnesium sulfate heptahydrate contains magnesium ions which can react with the sulfate ions from sodium lauryl sulfate to form insoluble magnesium sulfate. This reaction can result in the formation of a white precipitate.


Will ammonium bicarbonate boiled with sodium sulfate make sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate?

yes


What color is produced when magnesium is combined with sodium sulfate?

Magnesium, Mg, is a metal and sodium sulfate is a white powdery, soluble salt. They don't react with each other, so nothing is changed or produced.


What are the 7 8 main types of electrolytes?

sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, phosphate, and sulfate


What would happen if magnesium is added to a solution of sodium hydrogen sulphate?

Well, darling, when magnesium is added to a solution of sodium hydrogen sulfate, a chemical reaction occurs. The magnesium will kick sodium to the curb and form magnesium sulfate, while hydrogen gas gets released into the wild blue yonder. It's like a soap opera in a test tube, drama and chemistry all in one!


What happens in the reaction between sodium hydroxide and magnesium sulphate?

When sodium hydroxide reacts with magnesium sulfate, a double displacement reaction occurs where the sodium ions from sodium hydroxide switch places with the magnesium ions from magnesium sulfate to form sodium sulfate and magnesium hydroxide. The products of this reaction are aqueous sodium sulfate and a white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide.


What salt is in bath salt and toothpast?

1. Toothpaste may contain salts as sodium chloride, sodium fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium pyrophosphate etc. 2. Bath salts contain sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, borax, sodium bicarbonate etc.


What do you get when you mix aqueous cuso4 copper sulfate and nahco3 sodium bicarbonate together?

When you mix aqueous CuSO4 (copper sulfate) and NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate) together, a double displacement reaction occurs. The products are a precipitate of CuCO3 (copper carbonate) and aqueous Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate).


What is the spectator ions in magnesium sulphate and sodium hydroxide?

In the reaction between magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form magnesium hydroxide and sodium sulfate, the spectator ions are sodium (Na+) and sulfate (SO4^2-) ions. These ions do not participate in the chemical reaction and remain in solution unchanged.


What are the 10 most common salts?

Examples are: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, cooper sulfate, magnesium chloride.


How do you mix Sodium Hydroxide and Magnesium Sulfate?

Mixing sodium hydroxide and magnesium sulfate can lead to a chemical reaction producing magnesium hydroxide and sodium sulfate. It's important to do this in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate safety gear such as goggles and gloves. Add sodium hydroxide slowly to a solution of magnesium sulfate while stirring to prevent splattering and allow the reaction to occur as desired.


How can one prepare a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution?

To prepare a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, add sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to water until no more can dissolve. This creates a solution where the maximum amount of sodium bicarbonate is dissolved in the water.
