Question
### Identifying Precipitates in a Chemical Reaction

**Problem Statement:**
Three aqueous solutions are mixed: 1.0 M (NH₄)₂SO₄, 1.0 M Sr(OH)₂, and 1.0 M CoCl₃. The two precipitates are ____ and ____.

**Options:**
- **A:** SrSO₄, Co(OH)₃
- **B:** NH₄Cl, SrSO₄
- **C:** NH₄OH, Co₂(SO₄)₃
- **D:** SrCl₂, Co(OH)₃
- **E:** NH₄OH, SrCl₂

**Task:** Choose the correct option that indicates the precipitates formed from the reaction.

When these solutions are mixed, the cations \( \text{Sr}^{2+} \), \( \text{Co}^{3+} \), and \( \text{NH}_{4}^{+} \) can potentially react with the anions \( \text{SO}_{4}^{2-} \), \( \text{OH}^{-} \), and \( \text{Cl}^{-} \) to form precipitates. Possible precipitating reactions include:

1. \( \text{SrSO}_{4} \left(s\right) \)
2. \( \text{Co(OH)}_{3} \left(s\right) \)

Based on solubility rules, SrSO₄ and Co(OH)₃ are insoluble in water and will precipitate.

The correct answer is **A: SrSO₄, Co(OH)₃**.
