Question

A solution contains 0.25 Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 Cu(NO3)2.

A.
1.Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3 aq solution? 2.Will it be complete precipitation or not?
3. which one will precipitate first?
Assume that for successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3 solution.  Pls show step by step.

   Ksp  of CuCO3 = 1.4 x10-10

   Ksp  of NiCO3 = 1.42X 10-7

B.  If you need to redissolve the salt that was first precipitated, what pH will you use and why ?
