Zn2+ in ACSF • How much ZnCl2 can be added to a solution of ACSF at a given temperature before one will observe a precipitate. • What effect does pH have on solutions.
Formulas • Zinc Hydroxide in water. • Zn(OH)2 (s) Zn2+(aq) + 2OH- (aq) Ksp= 3.0x10-17 • 2OH-(aq)+ 2 H30+(aq) 4H20(l) (K1/w= 1.0x1014)2 • Zn(OH)2(s) + H30+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + 4H20(l) Knet= 3.0x10-17 * 1.0x1014 * 1.0x1014 = 3.0x1011
pH determination • pH can be determined from the concentration of H30+ from the following equation: • pH=-log[H30+]
From the reaction and the previous equation, the amount of Zn2+ in solution based on pH can be determined from the following equation: • 3.0x1011 = [Zn2+] _______ [H30+]2
Or • 3.0x1011 * (10-pH)2 = [Zn2+] • Or • pH = -log ([Zn2+] / 3.0x1011)-1/2
Some figured values are • pH 6: .3 M = [Zn2+] • pH 7: .003 = [Zn2+] • pH 8: 3.0x10-5 = [ Zn2+]
