Question

Its an owl question so it is 3 parts. Thanks so much!

In the laboratory you are given the task of separating Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions in aqueous solution.  

For each reagent listed below indicate if it can be used to separate the ions. Type "Y" for yes or "N" for no. If the reagent CAN be used to separate the ions, give the formula of the precipitate. If it cannot, type "No"
