## Separation Scheme Analysis

### Diagram Description:
The diagram represents a chemical separation process involving a solution containing \( \text{Ag}^+, \text{Pb}^{2+}, \text{and Cu}^{2+} \). The process involves adding \(\text{HNO}_3\) to achieve a pH of 1, followed by the addition of \(\text{H}_2\text{S}\) and the application of heat. This results in the separation into different precipitates and solutions, labeled as follows:

- **\(X(s)\):** A solid precipitate initially formed.
- **\(Y(aq)\):** Aqueous phase containing \(\text{Pb}^{2+}\).
- Further addition of \(\text{NaCl}\) leads to:
  - **\(W(s)\):** Another solid precipitate.
  - **\(Z(aq)\):** Aqueous solution.
  - Boiling results in:
    - **\(Q(aq)\):** Further separated aqueous solution.

### Questions:

a. **What is present in the precipitate at \(X\)?**

b. **Which cation will precipitate next if you continue adding \(\text{H}_2\text{S}\) to the above solution?**

c. **Assuming \(X\) has been removed, what are the identities of \(Q\), \(W\), \(Y\), and \(Z\) after the solution has been boiled?**

d. **How do you confirm the identity of each cation in the above solution?**

e. **What is the minimum concentration of sulfide ion required for 0.15 \text{ M Ag}^+\) solution to form a precipitate?** \((K_{sp} \ \text{Ag}_2\text{S} = 6 \times 10^{-51})\)
