Correct answer
Ccarbonate & carbonate
Step-by-step explanation
In Group V of cation analysis, both Ba²⁺ and Ca²⁺ are precipitated by adding Na₂CO₃ or (NH₄)₂CO₃ solution. Ba²⁺ precipitates as BaCO₃ (white precipitate) and Ca²⁺ precipitates as CaCO₃ (white precipitate). Both form insoluble carbonates under these conditions, making the answer carbonate & carbonate.
