Precipitate Formation
« on: November 15, 2011, 02:08:26 PM »
Please help me with another problem. Your input will be greatly appreciated :)

A solution containin .10 M Cl- and .10 M PO43- is to be traken through the process of fractional precipitaion by the addition of the Ag+ ion.
The Ksp of AgCl = 1.6x10-10 and Ksp of Ag3PO4 = 1.8x10-18

a) Calculate the [Ag+] required to initiate the precipitation of AgCl
b) Calculate the [Ag+] required to initiate the precipitation of Ag3PO4
c) Calculate the % Cl- ion left in solution at the highest concentration of Ag+ ion that wont bring on the precipiation of Ag3PO4
d) Calculate the molar solubility of both compounds using the given Ksp values.

You have to show some work, why don't you start by writing the balanced chemical equation.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
