Question

One way to analyze a mixture of ions in solution is to use selective precipitation. To separate silver ions from lead ions we can use a common anion that forms salts with very different solubilities. Consider a solution  that has both 0.10 M of Ag+ and 0.1 M of Pb2+.  If a solution 0.050  in Cl- is added to the mixture, what will be the ratio of concentrations of silver to lead once the equilibrium is reached?

K s p A g C l = 1.6x10 ^− 10 .    

K s p PbCl2 = 2.2x10^-10
