Analyze the table of some common inorganic precipitating agents and answer the following questions: a. Zn and Sn ions coprecipitate when they exist in solution to form mixed oxides. Suggest a precipitating agent that precipitate one of the oxides only. b. A silver chloride precipitate is precipitated in gravimetric analysis. Which solution would you recommend to wash the precipitate: AgNO3 or HNO3. Justify your answer.
