Group 2 — practice question

$\text{NaOH(aq)}$ is introduced separately to samples of magnesium chloride solution and barium chloride solution. $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)}$ is then added drop by drop to each reaction mixture until it is in excess. What is seen at the end of this sequence of reactions?

  • A$\text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: colourless solution only; $\text{BaCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: colourless solution only
  • B$\text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: colourless solution only; $\text{BaCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: white precipitate
  • C$\text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: white precipitate; $\text{BaCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: colourless solution only
  • D$\text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: white precipitate; $\text{BaCl}_2\text{(aq)}$: white precipitate
