Chapter 16 Problem 16.9

Question

A solution contains 1.0 3 1024 M Cu1 and 2.0 3 1023 M Pb21. If a source of I2 is added gradually to this solution, will PbI2 (Ksp 5 1.4 3 1028 ) or CuI (Ksp 5 5.3 3 10212) precipitate first? Specify the concentration of I2 necessary to begin precipitation of each salt.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 16 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A solution contains 1.0 3 1024 M Cu1 and 2.0 3 1023 M Pb21. If a source of I2 is added gradually to this solution, will PbI2 (Ksp 5 1.4 3 1028 ) or CuI (Ksp 5 5.3 3 10212) precipitate first? Specify the concentration of I2 necessary to begin precipitation of each salt.
From the textbook chapter Solubility and Complex Ion Equilibria you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
