Chapter 15.14, Problem 15.31P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The separation of Cd2+ from Zn2+ by bubbling H2S through an acidic solution of Cd2+ and Zn2+ mixture should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Solubility product in acid:

In the separation of metal ions by precipitation of metal sulphides, the soluble metal sulphides can be precipitated by changing concentration of H3O+ ion and the reaction is,

MS(s) + 2 H3O+(aq)M2+(aq) + H2S(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The equilibrium constant of the above reaction is,

Kspa=[M2+][H2S][H3O+]2

In the above equation, the reaction quotient Qc exceeds Kspa results the formation of very insoluble sulphides.
