You decide to separate aluminum ions in solution from silver ions in solution by precipitation with phosphate. The Kp of aluminum phosphate is 9.84 x 10 and the Kof silver phosphate is 8.89 x 1017. If the silver has a concentration of 0.00305 M and the aluminum has a concentration of 0.00185 M, what is the concentration of the phosphate (in M) at which a precipitate is first observed?

Question
You decide to separate aluminum ions in solution from silver ions in solution by precipitation with phosphate. The Kp of aluminum phosphate is 9.84 x 1021 and the Kof
silver phosphate is 8.89 x 10:17. If the silver has a concentration of 0.00305 M and the aluminum has a concentration of 0.00185 M, what is the concentration of the
phosphate (in M) at which a precipitate is first observed?
