Question
Answered step-by-step
Sulfites (compounds containing the $\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}$ ions) are used as preservatives in dried fruit and vegetables and in wine making. In an experiment to test the presence of sulfite in fruit, a student first soaked several dried apricots in water overnight and then filtered the solution to remove all solid particles. She then treated the solution with hydrogen peroxide $\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)$ to oxidize the sulfite ions to sulfate ions. Finally, the sulfate ions were precipitated by treating the solution with a few drops of a barium chloride $\left(\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}\right)$ solution. Write a balanced equation for each of the preceding steps.

In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. The term "solution" is also used to refer to the resultant mixture. The solution is usually a fluid. The particles of a solute are dispersed or dissolved in the solvent. The resulting solution is also called the solvent. The solvent is the continuous phase.

In chemistry, an ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electric charge. The name was coined by John Dalton for ions in 1808, and later expanded to include molecules in 1834.
