A solution contains one or more of the following ions: Ag+, Ca2+, and Fe2+. When sodium chloride is added to the solution, no precipitate forms. When sodium sulfate is added to the solution, a white precipitate forms. Then, the precipitate is filtered off and sodium carbonate is added to the remaining solution, and a precipitate forms.
Which of the ions were present in the original solution?
Write net ionic equations for the formation of each of the precipitates observed.
