Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a common method for detecting cations in a solution?
  • Step 1: Understand that cations are positively charged ions found in solutions.
  • Step 2: Learn that one way to detect cations is through precipitation reactions.
  • Step 3: Know that a precipitation reaction occurs when two solutions are mixed and an insoluble compound forms.
  • Step 4: Observe the formation of a solid (precipitate) in the solution, which indicates the presence of certain cations.
  • Step 5: Use specific reagents that react with the cations to form these insoluble compounds.
