Dissolving a Precipitate in HNO3
« on: August 01, 2010, 10:32:23 PM »
A mixture of which 0.2M aqueous solutions will form a precipitate that dissolves in 6 M nitric acid?

A) Co(NO3)2 and NH4Cl
B) Pb(NO3)2 and NaBr
C) Ba(NO3)2 and Na2CO3
D) Al(NO3)3 and K2SO4

I see why it's not A or D. As for why it's not B though, is it because HBr is a strong acid so PbBr2 won't dissolve in nitric acid? And then CO32- wants protons, so it dissolves to get them? Or is there a different reason?

Have you learned LeChatlier's Principle?
