Solid Na2SO4{Na}_{2}{SO}_{4} is slowly added to a solution which is 0.020M0.020M in Ba( NO 3)Ba{\left({\text{ NO }}_{3}\right)}_{2}andand0.020MininPb{\left({NO}_{3}\right)}_{2}.Assumethatthereisnoincreaseinvolumeonadding. Assume that there is no increase in volume on adding{Na}_{2}{SO}_{4}.Therepreferentialprecipitationtakesplace.Whatistheconcentrationof. There preferential precipitation takes place.

Correct answer

C. & 1.25 × 10^{-4}M

Step-by-step solution

When BaSO4{BaSO}_{4} begins to precipitate

\left[{SO}_{4}^{2 -}\right] = \dfrac{{K}_{sp}\left[BaS{O}_{4}\right]}{\left[Ba^{2 +}\right]} = \dfrac{1.0 \times 1{0}^{- 10}}{0.020}<br/><br/><br /><br />= 5.0 \times {10}^{- 9}M<br/><br/>When<br /><br />When{PbSO}_{4}begins to precipitate<br /><br />\left[{SO}_{4}^{2 -}\right] = \dfrac{{K}_{sp}\left(\text{ PbS }{O}_{4}\right)}{\left[Pb^{2 +}\right]} = \dfrac{1.6 \times 1{0}^{- 8}}{0.020}<br/><br/><br /><br />= 8.0 \times {10}^{- 7}M<br/><br/>[SO42−]<br /><br />\left[{SO}_{4}^{2 -}\right]is less for BaSO4{BaSO}_{4} precipitation so BaSO4{BaSO}_{4}precipitates first when PbSO4{PbSO}_{4} begins to precipitate \left[{SO}_{4}^{2 -}\right] = 8.0 \times {10}^{- 7}Matthatpointconcentrationofat that point concentration of{Ba}^{2 +} = \dfrac{{K}_{sp}\left(BaS{O}_{4}\right)}{\left[S{O}_{4}^{2 -}\right]}<br/><br/><br /><br />= \dfrac{1.0 \times 1{0}^{- 10}}{8.0 \times 1{0}^{- 7}} = 1.25 \times {10}^{- 4}M
