Cd+2 and Fe+2 (starting concentration 10 mol/L) should be separated by fractionated precipitation using H₂S. Does a pH range exist allowing to completely precipitate one metal (i.e. the remaining concentration of the precipitated ion has to be 10 mol/L or less) whereas the other stays in solution at its initial concentration? Please calculate this pH range whereby pH values below zero are set to zero! Please illustrate the situation graphically by plotting pH versus in solution/precipitating/fully precipitated for the two ions
