Chemical analysis of the water was done looking for heavy metal contamination of lead, mercury, and barium with the following results: When a sample of the water from the spring was treated with a sodium fluoride solution a white precipitate formed. When the remaining water from that sample was then treated with a sodium iodide solution a red precipitate formed. A second water sample from the spring was then treated with a sodium iodide solution and then the remaining water was treated with a sodium phosphate solution which did not cause a visible reaction. Which contaminants were present in the water? (Mark all that apply.) You may find this solubility table in the textbook helpful. (Scroll down a bit to find the table.) v lead \( \square \) mercury
