The common ion effect “Le Chatelier” Why is AgCl less soluble in sea water than in fresh water? AgCl(s) Ag+ + Cl– Seawater contains NaCl

Reaction Quotient (Q): will a ppt. occur? Use Q (also called ion product) and compare to Ksp Q < Ksp reaction goes Equilibrium Q = Ksp reaction goes Q > Ksp

Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 x 10–14 Pb(OAc)2(aq) + K2CrO4(aq) PbCrO4(s) + 2KOAc(aq) then: PbCrO4(s) Pb2+ + CrO42– Ksp= [Pb2+][CrO42–] [Pb2+]: 0.50 L 5.0 x 10–6 1 L [CrO42-]: 0.50 L 5.0 x 10-4 1 L Q = [5.0 x 10-6][5.0 x 10-4] = 2.5 x 10-9 compare to Ksp: Q > Ksp so a ppt. will occur
b. find the Eq. conc. of Pb2+ remaining in solution after the PbCrO4 precipitates. Ksp(PbCrO4) = 1.8 x 10–14 Since [Pb2+] = 5.0 x 10-6 and [CrO42-] = 5.0 x 10-4 and there is a 1:1 stoichiometry, Pb2+ is the limiting reactant. PbCrO4(s) Pb2+ + CrO42– I. (after ppt.) C. E. 0 5.0 x 10-4 - 5.0 x 10-6 = 5.0 x 10-4 +x +x x 5.0 x 10–4 + x Ksp = [x][5.0 x 10–4 + x] Try dropping the “+ x” term. 1.8 x 10–14 = x(5.0 x 10-4) x = [Pb2+] = 3.6 x 10–11 This is the concentration of Pb2+ remaining in solution.
Complex ion formation: AgCl(s) Ag+ + Cl– Ksp= 1.8 x 10–10 Ag+(aq) + NH3(aq) Ag(NH3)+(aq) Ag(NH3)+(aq) + NH3(aq) Ag(NH3)2+(aq) Ag+(aq) + 2NH3(aq) {Ag(NH3)2}+(aq) formation or stability constant: For Cu2+: Cu2+ + 4NH3 [Cu(NH3)4]2+(aq) K1 x K2 x K3 x K4 = Kf = 6.8 x 1012
Solubility and complex ions: Problem: How many moles of NH3 must be added to dissolve 0.050 mol of AgCl in 1.0 L of H2O? (KspAgCl = 1.8 x 10–10 ; Kf[Ag(NH3)2]+ = 1.6 x 107) AgCl(s) Ag+ + Cl– Ag+(aq) + 2NH3(aq) Ag(NH3)2+(aq) AgCl(s) + 2NH3 Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + Cl– sum of RXNS: = 2.9 x 10–3 Now use Koverall to solve the problem: Koverall= 2.9 x 10–3 = but ..... How much NH3 must we add? [NH3]eq = 0.93 [NH3]total= 0.93 + (2 x 0.050) = 1.03 M 2 ammonia’s for each Ag+
Fractional Precipitation: “ppting” one ion at a time. Compounds must have different Ksp values (i.e. different solubilities) Example: Ksp CdS = 3.9 x 10–29 and KspNiS = 3.0 x 10–21 ? Which will ppt. first? least soluble Problem: A solution is 0.020 M in both Cd2+ and Ni2+. Just before NiS begins to ppt., what conc. of Cd2+ will be left in solution? Approach:Find conc. of S2– ion when Ni2+ just begins to ppt. since Cd2+ will already be ppting. Then use this S2– conc. to find Cd2+. NiS(s) Ni2+ + S2– Ksp= 3.0 x 10–21 = [0.020][S2–] [S2–] = 1.5 x 10–19 M when Ni2+ just begins to ppt. Ksp= 3.9 x 10–29 = [Cd2+][1.5 x 10–19] CdS(s) Cd2+ + S2– So: [Cd2+] = 2.6 x 10–10 M when NiS starts to ppt.
