Concerning the reactions described in Exercise $75(\mathrm{b})$,
(a) Will the same observations be made if$\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{HPO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}),$ a white precipitate forms that is $38.7 \%$ Ca by mass.
(b) When a piece of dry ice, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{s}),$ is placed in a clear dilute solution of limewater $\left[\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(\mathrm{aq})\right]$, bubbles of gas evolve. At first, a white precipitate forms, but then it redissolves.
