In the presence of CN−, Fe3+ forms the complex ion Fe(CN)63−. The equilibrium concentrations of Fe3+ and Fe(CN)63− are 8.5 × 10−40 M and 1.5 × 10−3 M, respectively, in a 0.11-M KCN solution. Calculate the value for the overall formation constant of Fe(CN)63−.

- Assuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the concentration of all solute species in each of the following solutions of salts in contact with a solution containing a common ion. Show that changes in the initial concentrations of the common ions can be neglected. (a) AgCl(s) in 0.025 M NaCl. (b) CaF2(s) in 0.00133 M KF. (c) Ag2SO4(s) in 0.500 L of a solution containing 19.50 g of K2SO4. (d) Zn(OH)2(s) in a solution buffered at a pH of 11.45arrow_forwardSufficient sodium cyanide, NaCN, was added to 0.015 M silver nitrate, AgNO3, to give a solution that was initially 0.108 M in cyanide ion, CN. What is the concentration of silver ion, Ag+, in this solution after Ag(CN)2 forms? The formation constant Kf for the complex ion Ag(CN)2 is 5.6 1018.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_forward
- Suppose that solid AgCl and AgI are placed in 1.0 L water in separate beakers. Some, but not all, of each solid compound dissolves. In which beaker is the silver ion concentration, [Ag+], larger? Does the volume of water in which each compound dissolves affect the equilibrium concentration?arrow_forwardThe Ksp value for radium sulfate, RaSO4, is 4.2 1011. If 25 mg of radium sulfate is placed in 1.00 102 mL of water, does all of it dissolve? If not, how much dissolves?arrow_forwardThe solubility of zinc oxalate, ZnC2O4, in 0.0150 M ammonia is 3.6 104 mol/L. What is the oxalate-ion concentration in the saturated solution? If the solubility product constant for zinc oxalate is 1.5 109, what must be the zinc-ion concentration in the solution? Now calculate the formation constant for the complex ion Zn(NH3)42+.arrow_forward
- A solution contains 0.25 M Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 M Cu(NO3)2. Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3? Assume that for successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3.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.
