- Solid Pbl2 (Ksp = 9.8 109) is placed in a beaker of water. After a period of time, the lead(II) concentration is measured and found to be 1.1 103 M. Has the system reached equilibrium? That is, is the solution saturated? If not, will more Pbl2 dissolve?arrow_forwardWhen 5 M ammonia is added to a solution containing Cu(OH)2(s), the precipitate will eventually dissolve in solution. Why? If 5 M HNO3 is then added, the Cu(OH)2 precipitate re-forms. Why? In general, what effect does the ability of a cation to form a complex ion have on the solubility of salts containing that cation?arrow_forwardSometimes equilibria fur complex ions are described in terms of dissociation constants. Kd . For the complex ion AlF63- the dissociation reaction is: AlF63Al3++6F and Kd=[Al3+][F]6[AlF63]=21024 Calculate the value of the formation constant, Kf, for AlF63-.arrow_forward
- In the presence of NH3, Cu2+ forms the complex ion Cu(NH3)42+. If the equilibrium concentrations of Cu2+ and Cu(NH3)42+ are 1.8 1017 M and 1.0 103 M, respectively, in a 1.5-M NH3 solution, calculate the value for the overall formation constant of Cu(NH3)42+. Cu2+(aq)+4NH3(aq)Cu(NH3)42+(aq)Koverall=?arrow_forwardAt 25C, 10.24 mg of Cr(OH)2 are dissolved in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. When equilibrium is established, the solution has a pH of 8.49. Estimate Ksp for Cr(OH)2.arrow_forwardThe solubility of zinc oxalate, ZnC2O4, in 0.0150 M ammonia is 3.6 104 mol/L. What is the oxalate-ion concentration in the saturated solution? If the solubility product constant for zinc oxalate is 1.5 109, what must be the zinc-ion concentration in the solution? Now calculate the formation constant for the complex ion Zn(NH3)42+.arrow_forward
- 1. What is the equilibrium constant for the process of dissolving Agl by the addition of aqueous NaCN? Ksp for Agl is 8.5 × 10−17, and Kr for [Ag(CN)2]− is 1.3 × 1021. 6.5 × 10−4 8.7 × 104 1.1 × 105arrow_forwardAssuming that the solubility of Ca3(PO4)2(s) is 1.6 107 mol/L at 25c, calculate the Ksp for this salt. Ignore any potential reactions of the ions with water.arrow_forwardThe solubility of cadmium oxalate. CdC2O4, in 0.150 M ammonia is 6.1 103 mol/L. What is the oxalate-ion concentration in the saturated solution? If the solubility product constant for cadmium oxalate is 1.5 108, what must be the cadmium-ion concentration in the solution? Now calculate the formation constant for the complex ion Cd(NH3)42+.arrow_forward
- A solution contains 0.25 M Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 M Cu(NO3)2. Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3? Assume that for successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3.arrow_forwardThe solubility of Pb(IO3)2(s) in a 7.2 102-M KIO3 solution is 6.0 109 mol/L. Calculate the Ksp value for Pb(IO3)2(s).arrow_forward
