CO3 (2-) + 2H(+) - CO2 + H2O

To test for sulfates add HCl and barium chloride solution BCl2

  • if a white precipitate of barium sulfate is produced it means that the original substances was a sulfate
  • the HCl is added to get rid of any traces of carbonate or sulfite. Ba + SO4 - BaSO4

To test for halides add HNO3 and silver nitrate solution.
