Answer;
No, a precipitate does not form
Explanation;
- Precipitation involves mixing or combining solutions that contain soluble ionic compounds to form an insoluble ionic compound by a reaction.
- Sodium acetate and ammonium sulfate are both soluble ionic compounds, which implies that they exist as ions in aqueous solution.
- When they combine they form NH4CH3COOH and sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, which are both soluble salts, as all salts of ammonium and sodium are soluble.
- Both ammonium acetate and sodium sulfate are soluble because there are no anions that can form an insoluble solid with NH4+ and Na+ cations.
