- A volume of 50 mL of 1.8 M NH3 is mixed with an equal volume of a solution containing 0.95 g of MgCl2. What mass of NH4Cl must be added to the resulting solution to prevent the precipitation of Mg(OH)2?arrow_forwardConsider 0.0010-M solutions of these sparingly soluble solutes in equilibrium with their ions. Predict the effect on each equilibrium if a saturated solution of sodium iodide were added. Explain your prediction in each case. AgI(s) ⇌ Ag+(aq) + I−(aq) PbI2(s) ⇌ Pb2+(aq) + 2 I−(aq)arrow_forwardEach pair of ions below is found together in aqueous solution. Using the table of solubility product constants in Appendix J, devise a way to separate these ions by adding a reagent to precipitate one of the ions as an insoluble salt and leaving the other in solution.

- A student was asked to identify a compound. In an effort to do so, he first dissolved the compound in water. He found that no precipitate formed when hydrochloric acid was added, but when H2S was bubbled into this acidic solution, a precipitate formed. Which one of the following could be the precipitate? a PbS b MnS c CdS d Ag2Sarrow_forwardCalculate the mass of manganese hydroxide present in 1300 mL of a saturated manganese hydroxide solution.
