A sample of water drawn from a river passing through an agricultural district was divided into two portions
(Solved)
A sample of water drawn from a river passing through an agricultural district was divided into two portions. The first portion gave a white precipitate when acidified barium chloride was added. The second portion when warmed with aqueous sodium hydroxide gave a colourless gas which turned a moist red litmus paper blue.
i) Identify the ions present in the river water
ii) Suggest the possible source (s) of ions identified in (a) above
