Predicting Whether a Precipitate Forms

Does a precipitate form when 0.10 L of 8.0 x 10-3 M Pb x (N03)2 is added to 0.40 L of 5.0 x 10-3 M Na2S04?

Does a precipitate form when 0.050 L of 2.0 x 10-2 M NaF is mixed with 0.010 L of 1.0 x 10-2 M Ca(N03)2?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

In the case of ionic compounds the term  which is the same as equilibrium constant expression for a reaction, the only difference is that it is used at any other state than equilibrium. In case of solubility equilibrium, the  and  are related in order to predict the direction of equilibrium as follows:

        , the solution is saturated and at equilibrium

        , the solution is unsaturated, the equilibrium will be shifted towards right

        , the solution will be supersaturated, the equilibrium will be shifted towards left and precipitate is formed.
