Writing NIE; solving "who-dun-its" (study guides); answers to pre- and post-lab questions

1. Write net ionic equations for the following:

a. Fe(OH)3(s) + HCl(aq) -->
b. Ca2+(aq) + (NH4)2CO3(aq) -->

c. Cr3+(aq) + NH3(aq) -->


2. List all of the Group III, IV, and V cations that correspond to the following:

a. Does not precipitate when treated with a buffered NH3 solution or when treated with (NH4)2CO3.
b. A group III cation that will dissolve in excess concentrated NaOH solution.
