2. The continuous variation method is used to construct the ionic equation
for the reaction between barium nitrate solution and potassium chromate
(VI) solution. In this method, seven boiling tubes with each is added with
10 cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 of barium nitrate. Then, 1 cm3 of 1 mol dm-3
potassium chromate (VI) is added into the first boiling tube, 2 cm 3 into
the second boiling tube, so on until 7cm3 solution is added into the seventh
boiling tube. The height of the precipitate formed in each boiling tube is
measured. The results are recorded in table 1 and the results are used to
plot the graph of height of precipitate against the volume of potassium
chromate (VI) used.
