A solution of Na2C2O4 is added dropwise to a solution that is 0.0339 M in Cd2+ and 0.359 M in Ag+. The Ksp of CdC2O4 is 1.42e-08. The Ksp of Ag2C2O4 is 5.4e-12. (a) What concentration of C2O42- is necessary to begin precipitation? (Neglect volume changes.) [C2O42-] =_____ M. (b) Which cation precipitates first? ____Cd2 ____Ag+ (c) What is the concentration of C2O42- when the second cation begins to precipitate? [C2O42-] =________ M.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
