Concept Introduction:
Solubility product constant:
The equilibrium constant of a more soluble ionic compound in water at the higher solubility is known as solubility product constant.
The equilibrium constant of more soluble ionic compound is given by
Ion product:
The multiplication of concentrations of ions which are raised to the power of number of respective ions present. This gives the ion product.
Precipitation occurs when solution is supersaturated,
Precipitation will not occurs when solution is saturated and in equilibrium,
Precipitation will not occurs when solution is unsaturated,

General Chemistry: Atoms First
- A solution is formed by adding 3.20 grams of solid sodium hypochlorite, NaClO, to 500.0 ml of 0.0750M calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)₂. Calculate the pH of the resulting solution. You may assume that the sodium hypochlorite dissolve completely and that the change in volume is negligible with the addition of the solid.arrow_forwardAdding as little as 0.1 mL of concentrated HCl to a liter of H2O shifts the pH from 7.0 to 3.0. Adding the same amount of HCl to a liter of a solution that 0.1 M in acetic acid and 0.1 M in sodium acetate, however, results in a negligible change in pH. Why do these two solutions respond so differently to the addition of HCl?arrow_forwardDuring the fermentation of wine, a buffer consisting of tartaric acid and potassium hydrogen tartrate is produced by a biochemical reaction. Assuming that the concentration of tartaric acid is 0.3158 M and potassium hydrogen tartrate is 0.3851 M, what is the pH of the wine? The Ka of tartaric acid is 1.1x10-3.arrow_forward
- 6. Consider the reaction of 50.0 mL of 2.0 M nitric acid with 90.0 mL 1.0 M potassium hydroxide. Determine the pH, pOH, [H3O+], and [OH-] once the reaction is complete.arrow_forwardI. Consider a 1.00 L of 1.50x10 -3 M hydrocyanic acid (HCN,K=4.9×1019) 1. Write the equilibrium expression. 2. Calculate the pH of the solution. 3. If a 9.00x10 mol sodium cyanide, NaCN, is added, what is the pH of the resulting solution? Assume negligible volume change.arrow_forwardWhat is the pH of a buffer solution if you dissolve 300 ml of 1.65M Formic Acid (HCO2H) and 250 ml of 3.66M Sodium Formate (NaHCO2) together? If you were to now add 18 ml of 1.2M NaOH to the buffer solution, what would the new pH be?arrow_forward
- Red cabbage juice is a sensitive acid-base indicator; its colors range from red at acidic pH to yellow in alkaline solutions. If red cabbage is used for the following titration, calculate the pH of the solution described and indicate whether the solution will be red or yellow. If 67.00 mL of a 1.980 M HNO2 solution is reacted with 2.350 g NaOH, calculate the resulting pH. Resulting pH = Color of Solution =arrow_forward1. The ionization constant (Kb) of pyridine (C5H5N) is 5.62 x 10–4. If 11.3 grams of sample of pyridine is dissolved in 250.0 mL of water, what are the equilibrium concentration of all species present?2. A certain acidic vitamin is essential for all mammals since it plays a role in mineral absorption. A 0.125 M solution of this acid is found to have a pH of 2.034. Based on the table below, what most likely is the identity of this unknown acid? (Note: For this problem, treat the acid as if it is a monoprotic acid.)arrow_forwardA buffer is prepared by dissolving 0.80 moles of NH3 and 0.80 moles of NH4Cl in 1.00 L of aqueous solution. If 0.10 mol of NaOH is added to 250 mL of this buffer, what is the pH of the resultant solution? Kb of NH3 = 1.8 x 10–5arrow_forward
- At 22 °C, an excess amount of a generic metal hydroxide, M(OH)2, is mixed with pure water. The resulting equilibrium solution has a pH of 10.16. What is the Ksp of the salt at 22 °C?arrow_forwardIf you mix 100. mL of 0.11 M HCl with 50.0 mL of 0.22 M NH3, what is the pH of the resulting solution? For NH4+, Ka = 5.6 x 10-10arrow_forwardA chemist wishes to prepare a standard aqueous solution that has a concentration of Fe3+ equal to 1.0x10-5 M. This solution is to be prepared by allowing water at a set pH to reach equilibrium with solid Fe(OH)3. Given the fact that pH = -log [H+], what pH should be used for the aqueous solution to give this desired concentration of [Fe3+].arrow_forward
