Dear community,
I have two general questions which I would appreciate a lot if you could help me with!
1) In a small beaker with distilled water and a few ml of sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, and with Ba and Ca, how do I know what Ba and Ca will be bound to?
Will they be 1/4 sulfates, 1/4 nitrates, 1/4 chlorides, and 1/4 hydroxide complexes?
Or do they prefer a specific complex?
2) If they prefer a certain complex, how do I generally go about in forcing them to be bound to one of the other 3 mentioned complexes?
And doing so without evaporating the acidic solution. However, if the solution is neutralized it is possible to evaporate if needed.
Thank you very much for your time!
Kind regards
