Answer:

When mixed with a solution of aqueous sodium carbonate, a solution containing copper (II) ions will form a precipitate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A precipitation reaction is a reaction in which one of the products is insoluble in the solvent of the reaction (this is usually water).

These reactions are one of the types of double-displacement reactions in which the cations and anions of the reactants are inter-changed.

When mixed with a solution of aqueous sodium carbonate, a solution containing copper (II) ions will form a precipitate which is insoluble in water.

The copper (II) ions will form together with the carbonate, a precipitate. Which will be insoluble. An example is CuSO4.

Na2CO3 + CuSO4 → 2Na+ + CO32- + Cu+ + SO42- →2Na+ + SO42- + CUCO3

Answer:

Cu²+ ions

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution of copper(ii) ions will form a precipitate with Na2CO3 due to CuCO3 is insoluble.

Equation of reaction.

CuCl₂ +Na₂CO₃ → CuCO₃ + 2NaCl

CuCO₃ is insoluble and quickly forms a precipitate.
