In qualitative analysis, the metals of group I can be separated from other ions by precipitating them as chloride salts. A solution initially contains A g + and P b 2 + at a concentration of 0.10 M. Aqueous HCl is added to this solution until the C l - concentration is 0.10 M. What will the concentration of A g + and P b 2 + be at equilibrium? ( K s p for AgCl = 1.8 × 1 0 - 10 , K s p for P b C l 2 = 1.7 × 1 0 - 5 )
Options
- A[ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 7 M , [ P b 2 + ] = 1.7 × 1 0 - 6 M
- B[ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 11 M , [ P b 2 + ] = 8.5 × 1 0 - 5 M
- C[ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 9 M , [ P b 2 + ] = 1.7 × 1 0 - 3 M
- D[ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 11 M , [ P b 2 + ] = 1.7 × 1 0 - 4 M
Correct answer
C. [ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 9 M , [ P b 2 + ] = 1.7 × 1 0 - 3 M
Step-by-step solution
K s p [ A g C l ] = [ A g + ] [ C l - ] [ A g + ] = 1.8 × 1 0 - 10 1 0 - 1 = 1.8 × 1 0 - 9 M K sp PbCl 2 = Pb 2 + Cl − 2 [ P b 2 + ] = 1.7 × 1 0 - 5 1 0 - 1 × 1 0 - 1 = 1.7 × 1 0 - 3 M
