Question

100 mL of a saturated solution of Ag2SO4 is added to 250 mL of a saturated solution of PbCrO4. Will any precipitate form and if so what?

Given that : Ksp for Ag2SO4, Ag2CrO4,PbCrO4 and PbSO4 are 1.4×105, 2.4×1012, 2.8×1013 and 1.6×108 respectively.

Solution

The correct option is A Ag2CrO4
For Ag2SO42Ag+SO24
2S S

Ksp=4S3 or S=3Ksp4=31.4×1054=1.52×102M

For PbCrO4Pb2++CrO24

Ksp=S21 or S1=Ksp=2.8×1013=5.29×107M

In solution, conentration. of each ion can be given as:

Thus, [Ag]=2S×100350=2×1.52×102×100350 =0.869×102M

[SO24]=S×100350=1.52×102×100350=0.43×102

[Pb2+]=S1×250350=5.29×107×250350=3.78×107

[CrO24]=S1×250350=5.29×107×250350=3.78×107

It is the evident that,
[Ag][CrO24]=(0.869×102)2×(3.78×107)
=2.85×1011>Ksp(Ag2CrO4)

The product is greater than Ksp of Ag2CrO4 and thus, Ag2CrO4 will precipitate out.
