Equilibria — practice question

If equal amounts by volume of saturated barium hydroxide solution and saturated calcium hydroxide solution are combined, a white precipitate, Y, is produced. The resulting mixture is then filtered and carbon dioxide is passed through the filtrate, giving a second white precipitate, Z. What are Y and Z?

  • AY: $\text{Ba(OH)}_2$, Z: $\text{Ca(OH)}_2$
  • BY: $\text{Ba(OH)}_2$, Z: $\text{CaCO}_3$
  • CY: $\text{Ca(OH)}_2$, Z: $\text{BaCO}_3$
  • DY: $\text{Ca(OH)}_2$, Z: $\text{Ba(OH)}_2$
