In Experiment 5, Qualitative Test for Anions, the white solid was dissolved when CH3COOH (aq) was added to the barium salt for phosphate, but not for sulfate. Why? a. Because Ba(CH3COO)2 is a stronger base than BaSO4, but not than Ba(OH)2 b. Because Ba(CH3COO)2 is a stronger base than Ba3(PO4)2, but not than BaSO4 C. Because CH3COOH is a stronger acid than H2SO4, but not than H3PO4 d. Because CH3COOH is a stronger acid than H3PO4, but not than H2SO4
