Question

A solution contains \(1.19 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M}\) potassium bromide and \(6.61 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{M}\) potassium phosphate. Solid silver nitrate is added slowly to this mixture.

What is the concentration of bromide ion when phosphate ion begins to precipitate?

\[[\text{bromide}] = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \, \text{M}\]

Expert Solution

Step 1

Concept based on the solubility product of the sparingly soluble salts.

Based on the ksp values of the sparingly soluble salt, we can identify the concentration of the ions at given concentration and also predicts the concentration of ions when getting starts to precipitate
