Precipitation reactions can be defined as reaction in which two ionic bonds combine in aqueous solution chemically resulting in the formation of an insoluble salt.

(a) x

b) x

c) 2 x

d) 3 x

e) 5 x

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:To find  the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions

\(AgI\;(s) \to A{g^ + }\;(aq) + {I^ - }\;(aq)\)

By dissolving\(AgI\) in water, solution of mixed silver and chloride ions is produced. In this case, both silver and chloride ions produce an equal amount of the solid

02

:To find  the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions

\(CaC{O_3}(\;s) \to C{a^{2 + }}(aq) + CO_3^{2 - }(aq)\)

03

Step 3:To find  the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions

\(Mg{(OH)_2}\;(\;S) \to \;M{g^{2 + }}\;(aq) + \;2O{H^ - }(aq)\)

By dissolving\(CaC{O_3}\)in water, solution of mixed magnesium and hydroxide ions is produced. On the contrary to a) and

b), one ion of magnesium and two hydroxide ions are needed to produce one molecule of the solid.

04

To find the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions

\(M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}(S) \to \;3M{g^{2 + }}(aq) + 2PO_4^{3 - }(aq)\)

05

Step 5:To find  the changes in concentrations for each of the following reactions

\(C{a_5}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_3}OH(S) \to \;5C{a^{2 + }}(aq) + 3PO_4^{3 - }(aq)\)

Most popular questions from this chapter

Refer to Appendix \(J\) for solubility products for calcium salts. Determine which of the calcium salts listed is most soluble in moles per liter and which is most soluble in grams per liter.

Assuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the concentration of all solute species in each of the following solutions of salts in contact with a solution containing a common ion. Show that it is not appropriate to neglect the changes in the initial concentrations of the common ions.

(a) \(TlCl(s)\) in \(0.025MTlN{O_3}\)

(b) \(Ba{F_2}(\;s)\) in \(0.0313M\;KF\)

(c) \(Mg{C_2}{O_4}\) in \(2.250\;L\)of a solution containing \(8.156\;g\) of \(Mg{\left( {N{O_3}} \right)_2}\)

(d) \(Ca{(OH)_2}(\;s)\) in an unbuffered solution initially with a pH of \(12.700\)

Assuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the molar solubility of each of the following from its solubility product:

\(\begin{array}{l}(a)A{g_2}S{O_4}\\(b)PbB{r_2}\\(c)AgI\\(d)Ca{C_2}{O_4} \times {H_2}O\end{array}\)

Question: A roll of \(35 - mm\) black and white photographic film contains about \(0.27g\) of unexposed \(AgBr\) before developing. What mass of \(N{a_2}{S_2}{O_3} \cdot 5{H_2}O\) (sodium thiosulfate penta hydrate or hypo) in \(1.0L\)of developer is required to dissolve the \(AgBr\)as \(Ag\left( {{S_2}{O_3}} \right)_2^{3 - }\left( {{K_f} = 4.7 \times 1{0^{13}}} \right)?\)

Question: Use the simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16solublesalts) from the earlier Link to Learning to complete the following exercise: Using 0.01 g\(Ca{F_2},\;\)give the \({K_{sp}}\)values found in a 0.2-M solution of each of the salts. Discuss why the values change as you change soluble salts.
