The solubility product constant denoted as Ksp is defined as equilibrium condition in which solid and its respective ions exist in solution.

\(\begin{array}{l}a)PbC{l_2}(aq) \to P{b^{2 + }}(aq) + 2C{l^ - }(aq)\\ {K_{sp}} = 1 \left( {P{b^{2 + }}} \right) \times {\left( {2\left( {C{l^ - }} \right)} \right)^2}\\b)A{g_2}S(aq) \to 2A{g^ + }(aq) + {S^{2 - }}(aq)\\ {K_{sp}} = {\left( {2\left( {A{g^ + }} \right)} \right)^2} \times 1\left( {{S^{2 - }}} \right)\\c)S{r_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}(aq) \to 3S{r^{2 + }}(aq) + 2PO_4^{3 - }\\ {K_{sp}} = {\left( {3\left( {S{r^{2 + }}} \right)} \right)^3} \times {\left( {2\left( {PO_4^{3 - }} \right)} \right)^2}\\d)SrS{O_4}(aq) \to S{r^{2 + }}(aq) + SO_4^{2 - }(aq)\\ {K_{sp}} = 1\left( {S{r^{2 + }}} \right) \times 1\left( {SO_4^{2 - }} \right)\end{array}\)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Ionic equations will be written by dissociating given compound to its cation and anion. Constant of solubility is calculated like this:

\({K_{sp}} = C{\left( {{C^ + }} \right)^c} \times C{\left( {{A^ - }} \right)^a}\)

c is for concentration\(,{C^ + }\) is for cation and $A^{-}$is for anion that are potentiated on their stoichiometry coefficient

Question: How many grams of \(Pb{(OH)_2}\)will dissolve in 500 mL of a \(0.050 - MPbC{l_2}\;solution\;\left( {{K_{sp}} = 1.2 \times 1{0^{ - 15}}} \right)?\)

Question: About 50% of urinary calculi (kidney stones) consist of calcium phosphate,\(C{a_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}\). The normal mid-range calcium content excreted in the urine is 0.10 g of \(C{a^{2 + }}\) per day. The normal mid-range amount of urine passed may be taken as 1.4 L per day. What is the maximum concentration of phosphate ion that urine can contain before a calculus begins to form?

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 \(12.700\)

Question: The calcium ions in human blood serum are necessary for coagulation (Figure 15.5). Potassium oxalate, \({K_2}{C_2}{O_4}\), is used as an anticoagulant when a blood sample is drawn for laboratory tests because it removes the calcium as a precipitate of\(Ca{C_2}{O_4} \times {H_2}O\). It is necessary to remove all but 1.0% of the \(C{a^{2 + }}\) in serum in order to prevent coagulation. If normal blood serum with a buffered pH of 7.40 contains 9.5 mg of \(C{a^{2 + }}\) per 100 mL of serum, what mass of \({K_2}{C_2}{O_4}\)is required to prevent the coagulation of a 10 mL blood sample that is 55% serum by volume? (All volumes are accurate to two significant figures. Note that the volume of serum in a 10-mL blood sample is 5.5 mL. Assume that the \({K_{sp}}\)value for \(Ca{C_2}{O_4}\)in serum is the same as in water.)

A solution is 0.010 M in both Cu2+and Cd2+. What percentage ofCd2+remains in the solution when 99.9% of the Cu2+ has been precipitated as CuS by adding sulfide?
