How would one test distilled water for sulfate ions?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on testing distilled water for sulfate ions using calcium or barium salts. The addition of these salts results in the formation of a white precipitate, indicating the presence of sulfate ions. The method is straightforward and relies on the classic precipitation reaction to confirm sulfate ion presence in distilled water.
