a) To have maximum precipitation we need the salt with minimum molar solubility.Here the Ksp of the SrCO3 is minimum and it is the best salt.To be sure you can calculate molar solubility of Li2CO3 and SrCO3 because they have different Ksp expression.
Li2CO3  = 4s3 =8.15 * 10-4
SrCO3   = s2 = 5.60 *10-10
b)For the SrCO3 that contains the cation chosen in part (a), determine the concentration of each ion of that compound in solution at equilibrium.
SrCO3(s) ⇌ Sr2+(aq) + CO32-(aq)
Ksp = [Sr2+][CO32-]
5.60 × 10-10 = (x)(x)
x = 2.37 × 10-5 M = [Sr2+] = [CO32-]
c)Student must ensure excess of nitrate solution to ensure the precipitaions of all carbonate ions from the given sample.

d) Convert g SrCO3(s)  to moles SrCO3(s) using molar mass ratio.

e) Convert moles SrCO3(s) to moles of crabonate ( 1mole SrCO3(s)  has one mole CO32-) and then grams of carbonate using molar mass of CO32- .
f) Mass of CO32- calculated in e part divided by total mass of sample(1.89 g) given in the satrting of the question multiplied by 100%.
g) Now you know mass the CO32- in orginal sample and moles CO32- also.Subtract mass of carbonate from 1.89 g to get the mass of metal.
Now moles of metal = 2 moles of carbonate as given by the type of salt.
Li2CO3 ,Na2CO3 and K2CO3 .
It means you know the mass and moles so get the molar mass of the element to know its identity.
moles = mass / molar mass.
