solve part g

### Part G **Question:** What solution can you add to a mixture of Ag⁺ (aq) and Zn²⁺ (aq) to precipitate one cation while keeping the other cation in solution? **Options:** - ○ NaCl(aq) - ○ CH₃COONa(aq) - ○ K₂SiO₃(aq) - ○ Al(NO₃)₃(aq) **Buttons:** - Submit - Request Answer ### Explanation In this question, you are asked to choose a solution that will selectively precipitate one of the cations, Ag⁺ or Zn²⁺, from an aqueous mixture, allowing the other cation to remain dissolved. Consider the solubility rules and the formation of precipitates when each of these solutions is added.

Expert Solution
Step 1

In this case, the solution which forms a selective precipitate with one cation and not with the other should be added. 

Since zinc is less reactive than sodium, it cannot replace sodium from its respective salt.
