- According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forwardA solution contains Ca2+ and Pb2+ ions, both at a concentration of 0.010 M. You wish to separate the two ions from each other as completely as possible by precipitating one but not the other using aqueous Na2SO4 as the precipitating agent. (a) Which will precipitate first as sodium sulfate is added, CaSO4 or PbSO4? (b) What will be the concentration of the first ion that precipitates (Ca2+ or Pb2+) when the second, more soluble salt begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardYou will often work with salts of Fe3+, Pb2+, and Al3+ in the laboratory. (All are found in nature, and all are important economically.) If you have a solution containing these three ions, each at a concentration of 0.10 M, what is the order in which their hydroxides precipitate as aqueous NaOH is slowly added to the solution?arrow_forward
- Chromium(VI) forms two different oxyanions, the orange dichromate ion, Cr2O72 , and the yellow chromate ion, CrO42 . (See the following photos.) The equilibrium reaction between the two ions is Cr2O72(aq)+H2O(l)2CrO42(aq)+2H+(aq) Explain why orange dichromate solutions turn yellow when sodium hydroxide is added.arrow_forwardSolubility and Solubility Product You put 0.10-mol samples of KNO3, (NH4)2S, K2S, MnS, AgCl, and BaSO4 into separate flasks and add 1.0 L of water to each one. Then you stir the solutions for 5 minutes at room temperature. Assume that you have 1.0 L of solution in each case. a Are there any beakers where you would observe solid still present? How do you know? b Can you calculate the potassium ion concentration, K+, for the solutions of KNO3 and K2S? If so, do the calculations, and then compare these K+ concentrations. c For the solutions of (NH4)2S, K2S, and MnS, how do the concentrations of sulfide ion, S2, compare? (You dont need to calculate an answer at this point; just provide a rough comparison.) Be sure to justify your answer. d Are there any cases where you need more information to calculate the sulfide-ion concentration for the solutions of (NH4)2S, K2S, and MnS from part c? If so, what additional information do you need? e Consider all of the solutions listed at the beginning of this problem. For which ones do you need more information than is given in the question to determine the concentrations of the ions present? Where can you find this information? f How is the solubility of an ionic compound related to the concentrations of the ions of the dissolved compound in solution?arrow_forwardThe solubility rules outlined in Chapter 4 say that Ba(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ca(OH)2 are marginally soluble hydroxides. Calculate the pH of a saturated solution of each of these marginally soluble hydroxides.arrow_forward
- The cations Ba2+ and Sr2+ can be precipitated as very insoluble sulfates. (a) If you add sodium sulfate to a solution containing these metal cations, each with a concentration of 0.10 M, which is precipitated first, BaSO4 or SrSO4? (b) What will be the concentration of the first ion that precipitates (Ba2+ or Sr2+) when the second, more soluble salt begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardThe amount of oxygen, O2, dissolved in a water sample at 25 C can be determined by titration. The first step is to add solutions of MnSO4 and NaOH to the water to convert the dissolved oxygen to MnO2. A solution of H2SO4 and KI is then added to convert the MnO2 to Mn2+, and the iodide ion is converted to I2. The I2 is then titrated with standardized Na2S2O3. (a) Balance the equation for the reaction of Mn2+ ions with O2 in basic solution. (b) Balance the equation for the reaction of MnO2 with I in acid solution. (c) Balance the equation for the reaction of S2O32 with I2. (d) Calculate the amount of O2 in 25.0 mL of water if the titration requires 2.45 mL of 0.0112 M Na2S2O3 solution.arrow_forwardThere are many ionic compounds that dissolve in water to a very small extent. One example is lead(II) chloride. When it dissolves an equilibrium is established between the solid salt and its component ions. Suppose you stir some solid PbCl2 into water. Explain how you would prove that the compound dissolves but to a small extent? Is the dissolving process product-favored or reactant-favored? pbcl2(s)pb2+(aq)+2cl(aq)arrow_forward
- Suppose you have a water solution that is 0.0010 M Ca2+ and 0.0010 M Mg2+. Describe the precipitation reactions as you slowly add a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, to this solution. What would be the concentration of carbonate ion, CO32, when at least 90.0% of Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been precipitated.arrow_forwardThe Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16Handbook) gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSiF6, 0.026 g/100 mL (contains SiF62- ions) (b) Ce(IO3)4, 1.5102 g/100 mL (c) Gd2(SO4)3, 3.98 g/100 mL (d) (NH4)2PtBr6, 0.59 g/100 mL (contains PtBr62- ions)arrow_forwardCalculate the solubility in grams per 100 mL of BaF2 in a 0.10 M BaCl2 solution.arrow_forward
