Question

A solution of Na2CO3 is added dropwise to a solution that is 0.0453 M in Nd3+ and 4.46e-05 M in Hg22+.

The Ksp of Nd2(CO3)3 is 1.08e-33.

The Ksp of Hg2CO3 is 3.6e-17.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a) What concentration of CO32- is necessary to begin precipitation? (Neglect volume changes.)

 

[CO32-] = M.

 

 

 

(b) Which cation precipitates first?

 

Nd3+Hg22+    

 

 

 

 

 

 

(c) What is the concentration of CO32- when the second cation begins to precipitate?

 

[CO32-] = M.
