Experiment #5: Ionic Reactions Abstract: The objective of this experiment is to observe the nature of ionic reactions within an aqueous solution, to write the net ionic equations for the precipitation reaction and to identify the solubility of each property. Experiment and Observations: The cations used in this experiment were Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Barium, and Nickel. The anions used were Phosphate, Iodide, Sulfate, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Carbonate, and Hydroxide. Using the 96-well plate, 2 drops of Cobalt (II) Nitrate, Co(NO3)?6H2O solution were placed within the first seven A row wells. Next, 2 drops of Copper (II) Nitrate, Cu(No3)2?3H2O solution were placed within the first seven B wells. Next, 2 drops of Iron (III) Nitrate, Fe(No3)3?9H2O were placed within the first seven C wells. Next, 2 drops of Barium Nitrate, Ba(NO3)2 were placed into the first seven D wells. Lastly, 2 drops of Nickel (II) Nitrate, Ni(NO3)2?6H2O were placed into the first seven E wells. The following steps were performed to create the ionic reaction. 2 drops of Sodium Phosphate, Na3PO4?12H2O solution were placed into the five vertical wells under column number 1. Next, 2 drops of Sodium Iodide, Nal solution were placed into the five vertical wells under 2. Next, 2 drops of Sodium Sulfate, Na2SO4 solution into five vertical wells under 3. Next, 2 drops of Sodium Chloride, NaCl solution were placed into the five vertical wells under 4. Next, 2 drops of Sodium Bicarbonate, NaHCO3 solution were placed into the five vertical wells under 5. Next, 2 drops of Sodium Carbonate, Na2CO3 solution were placed into the five vertical wells under 6. Lastly, 2 drops of Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH solution were placed into the five vertical wells under 7. The following reactions were observed. The data was collected and recorded. A: Sodium Phosphate, Na3PO4?12H2O A1: Cobalt Nitrate- color
