The precipitate formed when barium chloride is treated with sulfuric acid is _________? answer with molecular name and all small letters

Name the process that contaminates the precipitates and also carries the precipitate solution containing soluble impurities.

• Supersaturation

• Reprecipitation

• Coprecipitation

• None of the above

Analyse the statements and select the correct option.

Statement I: The precipitate must have high solubility in order to be easily separated from the reaction mixture.

Statement II: Large-particle precipitates are frequently preferred for gravimetric analysis.

• Both statements are incorrect

• Only statement II is correct

• Both statements are correct

• Only statement I is correct

Larger-sized particles are required for gravimetric analysis because they are easily filtered and washed clean of impurities. True or false?

• True

• False

Which of the following IS NOT critical for the gravimetry analysis?

• Reading the burette to 2 decimal places after adding the precipitating reagent

• Addition of extra precipitating reagent

• Thorough washing of the precipitate.

• Accurately weigh the filter paper before filtering the precipitate

If ___________ process predominates, a precipitate containing a large number of small particles results. These small particles are called as ____________. (write in all small letter with comma and no space)
