Interpretation:
The valid conclusions needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Major objective of qualitative cation analysis is identifying the cations present in a mixture. In qualitative cation analysis, cations are categorized into 5 groups depending on the solubilities of their compounds. Pb2+, Hg22+, Ag+ belong to the first group which form insoluble chlorides when HCl(aq) is added. When the remaining solution is added with H2S in an acidic medium (0.3 M HCl), a group of sulfides precipitate. The remaining solution from this is next treated with H2S in a buffer mixture of NH3 and NH4+ ions which then gives a mixture of insoluble hydroxides and sulfides. Filtrate of above reaction mixture is then treated with CO32-. This yield carbonate precipitates of cations. In the final solution, all the water soluble cations include.

- Suggest a method for separating a precipitate consisting of a mixture of solid CuS and solid Cu(OH)2.arrow_forwardUnder what circumstances, if any, does a sample of solid AgCl completely dissolve in pure water?arrow_forwardThe Ksp for Q, a slightly soluble ionic compound composed of M22+ and X ions, is 4.5 1029. The electron configuration of M+ is [Xe]6s14f145d10. The X anion has 54 electrons. What is the molar solubility of Q in a solution of NaX prepared by dissolving 1.98 g NaX in 150. mL solution?arrow_forward
- To a 0.10-M solution of Pb(NO3)2 is added enough HF(g) to make [HF]=0.10M. (a) Does PbF2 precipitate from this solution? Show the calculations that support your conclusion. (b) What is the minimum pH at which PbF2 precipitates?arrow_forwardMixtures of metal ions in aqueous solution can sometimes be separated by selective precipitation. What is selective precipitation? If a solution contained 0.10 M Mg2+, 0.10 M Ca2+, and 0. 10 M Ba2+, how could addition of NaF be used to separate the cations out of solutionthat is, what would precipitate first, then second, then third? How could addition of K3PO4 be used to separate out the cations in a solution that is 1.0 M Ag+, 1.0 M Pb2+, and 1.0 M Sr2+?arrow_forwardIn a titration of cyanide ion, 28.72 mL of 0.0100 M AgNO3 is added before precipitation begins. [The reaction of Ag+ with CN- goes to completion, producing the Ag(CN)2- complex. Precipitation of solid AgCN takes place when excess Ag+ is added to the solution, above the amount needed to complete the formation of Ag(CN)2-. How many grams of NaCN were in the original sample?arrow_forward

- A solution contains 0.25 M Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 M Cu(NO3)2. Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3? Assume that for successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3.arrow_forwardA saturated solution of copper(II) iodate in pure water has a copper-ion concentration of 2.7 103 M. a What is the molar solubility of copper iodate in a 0.35 M potassium iodate solution? b What is the molar solubility of copper iodate in a 0.35 M copper nitrate solution? c Should there be a difference in the answers to parts a and b? Why?arrow_forwardPotassium hydrogen phthalate, known as KHP (molar mass = 204.22 g/mol), can be obtained in high purity and is used to determine the concentration of solutions of strong bases by the reaction HP(aq)+OH(aq)H2O(l)+P2(aq) If a typical titration experiment begins with approximately 0.5 g KHP and has a final volume of about 100 mL, what is an appropriate indicator to use?
