Explain how you would obtain an insoluble salt XSO₄ when you are provided with the following :-
(i) Distilled water
(ii) Solid YSO₄ which is soluble in water
(iii) Solid salt X(NO₃)₂

---

-Dissolve solid YSO₄ to obtain YSO₄ in solution

-Dissolve X(NO₃)₂ in water to obtain X (NO₃3)₂ solution.

-Mix the two above solutions

-Filter to obtain XSO₄ solid residue, rinse with water and dry by heating under asbestos pad.
