Iron concentrations greater than 5.4×10-6M in water used for laundrypurposes can cause staining. What [OH-] is required to reduce [Fe2+] to this level by precipitation of Fe(OH)2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

When the concentration of OH- ions in water is 1.82.10-5 iron would precipitate asFe(OH)2 and no stains would left on laundry.

Step by step solution

01

Define iron concentrations

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical descriptions can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.

02

Finding the value of the dissociation

Equation for Ksp

K∆p= [Fe2+] [OH-]2

Concentrations ofFe2+bigger than[Fe2+]=5.4.10-6 cause stains on laundry if present in water

For

Fe(OH)2 ,Ksp=1.8.10-15

03

Calculating required OH-1

The solubility of ions, or the molarity of ions needed to start precipitating

Ksp== [Fe2+] [OH-]2

\begin{aligned}{{K_{sp}}=\left[{{\rm{F}}{{\rm{e}}^{2+}}}\right]{{\left[{{\rm{O}}{{\rm{H}}^-}}\right]}^2}}\\{1.8\cdot{{10}^{-15}}=5.4\cdot{{10}^{-6}}{{\left[{{\rm{O}}{{\rm{H}}^-}}\right]}^2}}\\{\left[{{\rm{O}}{{\rm{H}}^-}}\right]=\sqrt{\frac{{1.8\cdot{{10}^{-15}}}}{{5.4\cdot{{10}^{-6}}}}}}\\{\left[{{\rm{O}}{{\rm{H}}^-}}\right]=1.82\cdot{{10}^{-5}}}\end{aligned}

When the concentration ofOH- ions in water is 1.82.10-15 iron would precipitate as Fe(OH)2 and no stains would left on laundry.
