Question

Below is a list of some common polyatomic ions for your reference.

 

Ion Name	Ion Formula	Ion Name	Ion Formula
carbonate	CO32−CO32−	phosphite	PO33−PO33−
nitrite	NO2−NO2−	phosphate	PO43−PO43−
nitrate	NO3−NO3−	sulfate	SO42−SO42−
ammonium	NH4+NH4+	chlorate	ClO3−ClO3−
hydroxide	OH−OH−	perchlorate	ClO4−ClO4−

 

Aqueous lithium sulfate was mixed with aqueous strontium chlorate, and a crystallized strontium sulfate product was formed. A crystalized product is a solid. The other product, lithium chlorate, remains dissolved in solution. Consider the other product and its phase, and then write the balanced molecular equation for this precipitation reaction.

Express your answer as a chemical equation including phases. Type an underscore (_) or a carat (^) to add subscripts and superscripts more quickly.
