None of these will be a common ion solution.B. H2PO4–, HCO3– C. CH3COOH, NaH2PO4D. H2CO3, HCO3– E. HSO4–, HSO3–
FREE Expert Solution
We’re being asked to determine which among the aqueous mixtures would be a common ion system.
The common ion system means that there is a presence of a common ion.
For H2PO4–, HCO3–:
• both are ions and they are different → not a common ion system
