Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It should be determined whetherformation of a complex ion in an ion solution of Hg2+, I-, Ag+ and NO2- increase or decrease the amount of precipitate.
Concept introduction:
Non-common Ion Effect: - The effect of “noncommon” or diverse ions is not as striking as the common-ion effect. Moreover, diverse ions tend to increase rather than decrease solubility. As the total ionic concentration of a solution increases, interionic attractions become more important. Activities become smaller than the stoichiometric concentration. For the ions involved in the solution process, this means that higher concentrations must appear in solution before equilibrium is established—the solubility increases.

In an effort to do so, he first dissolved the compound in water. He found that no precipitate formed when hydrochloric acid was added, but when H2S was bubbled into this acidic solution, a precipitate formed.

- An analytical chemist has a solution containing chloride ion, Cl. She decides to determine the amount of chloride ion in the solution by titrating 50.0 mL of this solution by 0.100 M AgNO3. As a way to indicate the endpoint of the titration, she added 1.00 g of potassium chromate, K2CrO4 (see Figure 17.5). As she slowly added the silver nitrate to the solution, a white precipitate formed. She continued the titration, with more white precipitate forming. Finally, the solution turned red, from another precipitate. The volume of the solution at this point was 60.3 mL. How many moles of chloride ion were there in the original solution? How many moles of chloride ion were there in the final solution?
