Solubility product in acid:
The mixture of metal cations
In this precipitation, the metal cation are classified into two types, they are very insoluble sulphides and more soluble sulphides. The more soluble sulphides are
These solubility difference is used for separation of metal cation in the mixture in acidic condition. The equilibrium reaction of metal sulphide in acid is,
The equilibrium constant of above reaction is called the solubility product
The reaction quotient
Precipitation will occurs if

- Calcium nitrate is added to a sodium sulfate solution that is 0.0150 M. (a) At what concentration of Ca2+ does a precipitate first start to form? (b) Enough Ca(NO3)2 is added to make [ Ca2+ ]=0.0075 M. What percentage of the original sulfate ion has precipitated?arrow_forwarda If the molar solubility of beryllium(II) hydroxide is 8.6 107 M in pure water, what is its Ksp value? b What is the molar solubility of beryllium(II) hydroxide in a solution that is 1.50 M in NH3 and 0.25 M in NH4Cl? c Account for the differences in molar solubility in parts a and b.arrow_forwardSolid sodium fluoride is slowly added to an aqueous solution that contains 0.0100-M Pb2+ and 0.0100-M Ca2+. (a) Determine which precipitates first, calcium fluoride or lead(II) fluoride. (b) Calculate the percentage of Ca2+ or Pb2+ that has precipitated just prior to the precipitation of the compound that precipitates second.arrow_forward
- How do the concentrations of Ag+ and CrO42- in a saturated solution above 1.0 g of solid Ag2CrO4 Change when 100 g of solid Ag2CrO4 is added to the system? Explain.arrow_forwardA buffer solution with it pH of 12.00 consists of Na3PO4 and Na2HPO4. The volume of solution is 200.0 mL. (a) Which component of the buffer is present in a larger amount? (b) If the concentration of Na3PO4 is 0.400 M, what mass of Na2HPO4 is present? (c) Which component of the buffer must be added to change the pH to 12.25? What mass of that component is required?arrow_forwardA volume of 50 mL of 1.8 M NH3 is mixed with an equal volume of a solution containing 0.95 g of MgCl2. What mass of NH4Cl must be added to the resulting solution to prevent the precipitation of Mg(OH)2?arrow_forward
- Lead(II) chromate, PbCrO4, was used as a yellow paint pigment (chrome yellow). When a solution is prepared that is 5.0 104 M in lead ion, Pb2, and 5.0 105 M in chromate ion, CrO42, would you expect some of the lead(II) chromate to precipitate?arrow_forwardYou place 1.234 g of solid Ca(OH)2 in 1.00 L of pure water at 25 C. The pH of the solution is found to be 12.68. Estimate the value of Ksp for Ca(OH)2.arrow_forwardA 3.20-L solution of 1.25 103 M Pb(NO3)2 is mixed with a 0.80-L solution of 5.0 101 M NaCl. Calculate Q for the dissolution of PbCl2. No precipitate has formed. Is the solution supersaturated, saturated, or unsaturated?arrow_forward
