KSP Assignment

This document contains 15 chemistry problems related to solubility product constants (Ksp) and precipitation of ionic compounds. The problems involve calculating concentrations of ions in solution, determining if precipitation will occur when solutions are mixed based on Ksp values, and calculating the mass of precipitate that will form. The document also discusses using pH to separate mixtures of magnesium and calcium ions by adjusting the pH to cause precipitation of only one of the metal hydroxides.

1) The value of Ksp of AgCl is 1.8 x 10-10. What would be the molar concentration of Ag+
and Cl- in pure water placed in contact with solid AgCl(s)?

(a) 1.8 x 10 -10 M


(b) 1.3 x 10 -5 M
(c) 3.24 x 10 -20 M

2) The molar solubility of PbCl2 in 0.10 M NaCl is 1.7 x 10-3 moles in a liter (that is 1.7 x 10-3
moles of PbCl2 will dissolve in 1 liter of the solution). What is the Ksp of PbCl 2?

+ - (a) Ksp = 1.8 x 10-5


(b) Ksp = 1.9 x 10-8
(c) Ksp = 1.7 x 10-4

3) What are the molar concentrations of ions in solution when solid PbI2 is in contact with pure
water?
(Ksp for PbI 2 = 7.9 x 10-9)
(a) [Pb+2 ] = 1.3 x 10-3 M & [I-] = 2.6 x 10 -3 M
(b) [Pb +2] = 1.6 x 10 -3 -
M & [I ] = 3.2 x 10 -3 M
2

(c) [Pb+2] = [I-] = 2.0 x 10-3 M

4) What is the molar concentration of [Ag+] in AgCl solution in 0.10 M NaCl ?


(Ksp = 1.8 x 10-10) Remember that in this case the molar solubility of AgCl is equal to the
[Ag+] as only the Ag+ reflects the amount of AgCl that dissolved.

(a) Ag+ = 1.3 x 10-5 M


(b) Ag+ = 0.10 M
(c) Ag+ = [AgCl] = 1.8 x 10-9 M
5) Will CaSO4 precipitate if 50 mL of 0.0010 M CaCl2 is added to 50 mL of 0.010
M Na2SO4? (Ksp for CaSO4 = 2.4 x 10-5)

(a) no precipitation will occur


(b) it is at equilibrium
(c) precipitation will occur

6) How many grams (g) of CaSO4 is formed when 20 mL of 0.010 M Na2SO4 is added to 100
mL of 0.001 M CaCl2?

(a) 0.0001g
(b) 0.01g

7) Write equibrium expressions for the solubility of CaF2 and Ca3(PO4)2 ?

8) If 0.0067g CaCO3 soluble in 1.0L of water, calculate Ksp molar solubility ?

9) If 0.017g CaF2 soluble in 1.0L of water, calculate Ksp molar solubility ?

10) For AgCl, Ksp = 1.8x10-10 Calculate grams AgCl soluble per liter?
11)
Precipitation of Ionic Compounds

Will precipitate form if solutions mixed in 1:1 ratio?


Ksp for AgCl = 1.8x10-10
After mixing, [Ag+1] = [Cl-1] = 1.0x10-5M
Compare IP to Ksp:
If IP > Ksp precipitate forms
If IP < Ksp no precipitate forms
If IP = Ksp no precipitate forms but solution is saturated

12) Will mixture precipitate if equal volumes of 3.0x10-3M Ba+2 & 2.0x10-3M CO3-2
mixed? Ksp for BaCO3 is 5.0x10-9
After mixing, [Ba+2] = 1.5x10-3M [CO3-2] = 1.0x10-3M

13)
Will mixture precipitate if 20.0mL 3.0x10-4M Ba+2 & 30.0mL 2.0 x10-4M CO -2 mixed?
3

14) Is 0.10M Mg(NO3)2 soluble at pH of 12?

15) Is 0.10M Mg(NO3)2 soluble at pH of 8

Determine optimum conditions for separating 0.10 Mg+2 & 0.10M Ca+2
The ions can be separated by adjusting pH since
Ca(OH) 2 Ksp = 6.5x10-6 more soluble
Mg(OH)2 Ksp = 7.1x10-12 less soluble
