As sodium chloride solution is added to a solution of silver nitrate, a white precipitate forms. Ammonia is added to the mixture and the precipitate dissolves. When potassium bromide solution is then added, a pale yellow precipitate appears. When a solution of sodium thiosulfate is added, the yellow precipitate dissolves. Finally, potassium iodide is added to the solution and a yellow precipitate forms. Write equations for all the changes mentioned above. What conclusions can you draw concerning the sizes of the \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\) values for \(\mathrm{AgCl}, \mathrm{AgBr},\) and \(\mathrm{AgI?}\)
Calculate the molar solubility of \(\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}, K_{\mathrm{sp}}=2.5 \times 10^{-43}.\)
The solubility of \(\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{IO}_{3}\right)_{2}(s)\) in a \(0.10-M \mathrm{KIO}_{3}\) solution is \(2.6 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{mol} / \mathrm{L}\) . Calculate \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\) for \(\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{IO}_{3}\right)_{2}.\)
Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid鈥揵ase properties. a. \(A g_{3} P O_{4}, K_{s p}=1.8 \times 10^{-18}\) b. \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}, K_{\mathrm{sp}}=8.7 \times 10^{-9}\) c. \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}, K_{\mathrm{sp}}=1.1 \times 10^{-18}\left(\mathrm{Hg}_{2}^{2+} \right.\) is the cation in is the cation in solution.\()\)
The \(K_{\mathrm{sp}}\) of \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) is \(2 \times 10^{-32} .\) At what pH will a \(0.2-M\) \(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\) solution begin to show precipitation of \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3} ?\)
