Calculate the concentration of PO43-when Ag3 PO4 starts to precipitate from a solution that is 0.0125M in Ag+.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of [PO43-]=9.22×10-16M

Step by step solution

01

Define concentration

The concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical descriptions can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.

02

Calculate the concentration

Precipitation of PO43-will begins when the ion product value is higher than solubility product constant value of Ag3 PO4

\[{K_{sp}}=1.8\times{10^{-18}}={\left[{A{g^+}}\right]^3}\left[{PO_4^{3-}}\right]=\left[{PO_4^{3-}}\right]\left({{{0.0125}^3}}\right)\]

\[\left[{PO_4^{3-}}\right]=\frac{{1.8 \times{{10}^{-18}}}}{{{{0.0125}^3}}}=9.22\times{10^{-16}}M\]

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.

(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 \(12.700\)

Question: In a titration of cyanide ion, 28.72 mL of 0.0100 M AgNO3 is added before precipitation begins. [The reaction of Ag+ with CN goes to completion, producing the Ag(CN)2 complex.] Precipitation of solid AgCN takes place when excess Ag+ is added to the solution, above the amount needed to complete the formation of Ag(CN)2 . How many grams of NaCN were in the original sample?

What is the molar solubility of CaF2 in a 0.100 M solution of HF? Kafor HF = 7.2 × 10–4.
