Asolution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute hcl and no precipitate formed. next, h2s was bubbled through the acidic solution. a precipitate formed and was filtered off. then, the ph was raised to about 8 and h2s was again bubbled through the solution. a precipitate again formed and was filtered off. finally, the solution was treated with a sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in no precipitation. classify the metal ions based on whether they were definitely absent from the original mixture or whether it is possible they were present in the original mixture.
definitely absent: possibly present:
ag+, cd2+, pb2+, hg22+, ca2+, mg2+, bi3+, mn2+, ni2+, al3+, sn2+, li+, hg2+

Island arcsisland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. they occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.at island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. the islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. the basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. the andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? a) biotite, plagioclase feldspar, amphiboleb) biotite, amphibole, plagioclase feldsparc) plagioclase feldspar, biotite, amphiboled) plagioclase feldspar, amphibole, biotite
