- Which compound in each pair is more soluble in water than is predicted by a calculation from Ksp? (a) AgI or Ag2CO3 (b) PbCO3 or PbCl2 (c) AgCl or AgCNarrow_forwardA solution is made up by adding 0.632 g of barium nitrate and 0.920 g of lanthanum nitrate, to La(NO3)3 enough water to make 0.500 L of solution. Solid sodium iodate, NalO3, is added (without volume change) to the solution. (a) Which salt will precipitate first? La(IO3)3 (Ksp=7.501012) or BAIO3 (Ksp=4.0109)? (b) What is [IO3-] when the salt in (a) first begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds, when dissolved in a 0.01-M solution of HClO4, has a solubility greater than in pure water: CuCl, CaCO3, MnS, PbBr2, CaF2? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Write the Ksp expression for each of these slightly soluble salts: CuBr HgI2 SrSO4arrow_forwardA buffer is made up of 0.300 L each of 0.500 M KH2PO4 and 0.317 M K2HPO4. Assuming that volumes are additive, calculate (a) the pH of the buffer. (b) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of HCl to 0.600 L of buffer. (c) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of NaOH to 0.600 L of buffer.arrow_forwardA 1.0-L solution that is 4.2 M in ammonia is mixed with 26.7 g of ammonium chloride. a What is the hydroxide-ion concentration of this solution? b 0.075 mol of MgCl2 is added to the above solution. Assume that there is no volume change. After Mg(OH)2 has precipitated, what is the molar concentration of magnesium ion? What percent of the Mg2+ is removed from solution?arrow_forward
- Write the net ionic equation in which the slightly soluble salt barium fluoride, BaF2, dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid.arrow_forwardMany natural processes can be studied in the laboratory but only in an environment of controlled pH. Which of these combinations is the best to buffer the pH at approximately 7? Explain your choice. H3PO4/NaH2PO4 NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 Na2HPO4/Na3PO4arrow_forwardCalcium oxalate (CaC2O4) is relatively insoluble in water (Ksp = 2 109). However, calcium oxalate is more soluble in acidic solution. How much more soluble is calcium oxalate in 0.10 M H+ than in pure water? In pure water, ignore the basic properties of C2O42.arrow_forward
- Marble is almost pure CaCO3. Acid rain has a devastating effect on marble statuary left outdoors. Assume that the reaction which occurs is CoCO3(s)+ H+(aq)Ca2+(aq)+HCO3(aq) Neglecting all other competing equilibria and using Tables 15.1 and 13.2, calculate (a) K for the reaction. (b) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in pure water. (c) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in acid rainwater with a pH of 4.00.arrow_forwardSolid sodium fluoride is slowly added to an aqueous solution that contains 0.0100-M Pb2+ and 0.0100-M Ca2+. (a) Determine which precipitates first, calcium fluoride or lead(II) fluoride. (b) Calculate the percentage of Ca2+ or Pb2+ that has precipitated just prior to the precipitation of the compound that precipitates second.arrow_forward
