Carbonates of alkaline earth metal can be prepared by adding _______ to a solution of soluble salts of metals.
NH4 (HCO3)
NH4Cl
NH4OH
(NH4)2 CO3
As we learn
Formation of carbonates of alkaline earth metals -
Precipitated by addition of sodium or ammonium carbonate solution to a solution of a soluble salt of these metals
- wherein
(NH4)2 CO3 + MX2 ð 2NH4X + MCO3
MCO3 – alkaline earth metal carbonate
MX2 – salt of alkaline earth metal
