To gravimetrically analyze the silver content of a piece of jewelry made from an alloy of Ag and Cu, a student dissolves a small preweighed sample in HNO3(aq). Ag+(aq)and Cu2+(aq) ions form in the solution. Which of the following should be the next step in the analytical process? a. Centrifuging the solution to isolate the heavier ions
b. Adding enough base solution to bring the pH up to 7.0
c. Adding a solution containing an anion that forms an insoluble salt with only one of the metal ions
d. Evaporating the solution to recover the dissolved nitrates

hey there!

mass = 6.75 g

volume =   9 cm³

therefore:

d = mass / volume

d   = 6.75 / 9

d = 0.7 g/cm³

answer b

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
