You have an aqueous solution of chromium(III) nitrate thatyou titrate with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.After a certain amount of titrant has been added, you observe aprecipitate forming. You add more sodium hydroxide solutionand the precipitate dissolves, leaving a solution again. Whathas happened? (a) The precipitate was sodium hydroxide,which redissolved in the larger volume. (b) The precipitate waschromium hydroxide, which dissolved once more solution wasadded, forming Cr3 + (aq). (c) The precipitate was chromiumhydroxide, which then reacted with more hydroxide to producea soluble complex ion, Cr(OH)4-(aq). (d) The precipitatewas sodium nitrate, which reacted with more nitrate to producethe soluble complex ion Na(NO3)32 -(aq).
