Question

A student carries out the following experiments and records the following observations. 

1.  A few drops of a solution of KOH (aq) is added to a solution of Cu(NO3)2 (aq).  A blue gelatinous solid forms immediately upon addition. 

 2.   A few drops of a solution of KOH (aq) is added to a solution of NaNO3 (aq).  No changes are observed. 

3.  A few drops of a solution of KOH (aq) is added to an unknown solution that could contain Cu2+(aq) and/or Na+(aq) ions (the solution could contain both ions, just one of the ions, or neither ions).  A blue gelatinous solid forms immediately upon addition.  

Select all of the answers that are consistent with the data from those 3 experiments. 

Group of answer choices
The unknown contains Cu2+(aq) and Na+(aq)
The unknown contains Cu2+(aq)
The unknown contains Na+(aq)
The unknown contains neither Cu2+(aq) or Na+(aq)
