Question

A solution containing cobalt (I) ions is added to a solution that is 0.034 M Br and 0.069 M Cl. What is the identity of the precipitate that forms, and at what concentration of cobalt (I) ions does this begin to occur?

Solubility Product Constants:

CoCl  =  2.1 × 10–5

CoBr  =  6.2 × 10–12

 

No precipitate will form at any concentration of cobalt (I).

CoCl,  9.0 × 10–11 M

CoBr,  3.0 × 10–4 M

CoCl,  6.2 × 10–4 M

CoBr,  1.8 × 10–10 M

Expert Solution
Step 1

As Ksp of CoBr is less than that of CoCl .so precipitation CoBr will starts first.
