Question

Which of the following will be precipitated when a solution containing calcium acetate, strontium acetate and barium acetate is treated with (NH4)2SO4?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Ksp values of alkaline earth metal sulphates decrease down the group. BaSO4 and SrSO4 have sufficiently low solubility to precipitate, while CaSO4 is sparingly soluble and does not precipitate readily under these conditions.
