Consider the following mixtures of chemicals. Complete the table by writing balanced equations and calculating the value of Q. Hence indicate whethe precipitation will occur. Mixture Balanced equation Ksp Q Precipitation occurs (yes or no) 100mL 0.5 molL-1 Ca(NO3)2 mixed with 100 mL 0.2 molL-1 Na2SO4 6.1x10-5 20 mL 0.01 molL-1 AgNO3 mixed with 80 mL 0.05 molL-1 K2CrO4 1.7x10-12
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
Consider the following mixtures of chemicals. Complete the table by writing balanced equations and calculating the value of Q. Hence indicate whethe precipitation will occur.
Mixture | Balanced equation | Ksp | Q | Precipitation occurs (yes or no) |
100mL 0.5 molL-1 Ca(NO3)2 mixed with 100 mL 0.2 molL-1 Na2SO4 | 6.1x10-5 | |||
20 mL 0.01 molL-1 AgNO3 mixed with 80 mL 0.05 molL-1 K2CrO4 | 1.7x10-12 |
The equation will be:
0.5M Calcium nitrate is mixed with 0.2M sodium sulfate.
The expression of solubility product is:
Total volume = 200 millilitre.
Therefore Q = 2.5×10-2
Q is greater than Ksp, precipitation will happens.
The equation will be:
