Separat the components of a water-insoluble mixture of barium sulfate (BaSO4) and nickel (ii) carbonate (NiCO3). Chemicals provied to aid in the separation and recovery of the 2 component mixturee are HCl(aq) and K2CO3(aq). Provide a balanced chemical equation for each reaction that is performed and write an explanation for each step. The physical and chemical properties are given below.
