Use the observations in the table to work out which sample is $\text{Ba(OH)}_2$, $\text{NaCl}$, $\text{P}_4\text{O}_{10}$ and $\text{SiCl}_4$. Enter your responses in the table.
Identify the formula of the white solid produced when sample T reacts with water.
Name the solution produced when sample U reacts with water.
Name one physical property that is typical of ceramic materials.
Give the formula of another Period 3 oxide that behaves like a ceramic material.
Tungsten oxide, $\text{W}_x\text{O}_y$, is used to colour ceramic materials. A sample of $\text{W}_x\text{O}_y$ has $79.29\%$ tungsten by mass. Calculate the empirical formula of $\text{W}_x\text{O}_y$. Show your working.
