colorless precipitate. The analyses of these two precipitates are in the table below. Determine the empirical
formulas of each of the precipitates. (b) A portion of the red solid was dissolved in a hot ammonia solution and an
orange-yellow polar solid was isolated. A portion of the colorless solid was dissolved in warm hydrochloric acid
and a pale-yellow nonpolar solid was isolated. Both solids had the same composition (see the table below). The

ionic, covalent, or metallic) is silicon carbide?
