KEY IDEAS Precipitation reactions are a result of a double replacement reaction where one product is an insoluble salt. Using equilibrium constants, we can predict if a precipitate (often written "ppt") will form or not.
SOLUBILITY OF SALTS
AB (aq) + CD (aq) AD(aq) + CB(s) CaCl2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) CaCO3(s) + 2 NaCl(aq) net ionic: Ca2+ + CO32- CaCO3
If lead's concentration is 1.62 x 10-2 then chloride's concentration is twice that amount: 2 x (1.62 x 10-2) = 3.24 x 10-2. So. . . Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-1]2 = (1.62 x 10-2)(3.24 x 10-2)2 = 1.70 x 10-5 Usually we skip right to the "E" line, and most people use an "S" instead of the "x" when using ICE tables with Ksp problems. THE TWO MOST COMMON MISTAKES THAT STUDENTS MAKE ARE:
FORGETTING TO PUT THE EXPONENT ON THE TERM IN THE Ksp EQUATION. FORGETTING TO DO THE STOICHIOMETRY TO GET THE CORRECT VALUES.
The relative solubilities can be deduced by comparing values of Ksp BUT BE CAREFUL! These comparisons can only be made for salts having the same ION:ION ratio. Please don't forget solubility changes with temperature! Some substances become less soluble in cold water while some become more soluble! However, it is more common that substances will become more soluble in hot water.
Dissolve the metal salts to obtain the metal ion. Concentrate the solution in some manner. Select an ion to selectively precipitate the metal as an insoluble salt. To do this select a Ksp value for your salt that will allow it to precipitate and not any other salts (sometimes easier said than done).
To help with this, the Reaction Quotient, Q, is very important. Types of solutions: Unsaturated not enough solute is dissolved can have more solute dissolved the maximum amount of solute is not dissolved Saturated under normal conditions, the maximum amount of solute is dissolved no more solute will dissolve Supersaturated temporarily has more than the maximum amount of solute Ksp AND THE REACTION QUOTIENT, Q 1. Q < Ksp, the system is not at equilibrium. (unsaturated) 2. Q = Ksp, the system is at equilibrium. (saturated) 3. Q > Ksp, the system is not at equilibrium. (supersaturated)
LeChatelier's Principle
Be reasonable and use approximations when you can!!
cadmium
nickel
1. From solubility rules, lead and silver chloride will ppt. so add dilute HCl. 2. Nickel and cadmium will stay in solution. 3. Separate PbCl2 and AgCl by filtration Lead chloride will dissolve in HOT water. Filter while HOT and those two will be separated. 4. Cadmium and nickel are more subtle. Use their Ksp's with sulfide ion. Which metal precipitates first? REMEMBER THE PROBLEM WITH THE LABELS FALLEN OFF.
SIMULTANEOUS EQUILIBRIA
When another reagent is added to a saturated solution of an insoluble salt, the salt may be converted to another, even less soluble salt. lead chloride and lead chromate: PbCl2 , white solid PbCrO4 , yellow solid Ksp = 1.7 x 10-5 Ksp = 1.8 x 10-14
If you add a few drops of potassium chromate to lead chloride and shake the mixture, the lead chloride is changed to lead chromate. PbCl2(s) + CrO4-2 (aq) PbCrO4 (s) + 2 Cl-1(aq) Knet = 9.4 x 108 = K1K2
simply the sum of the two reactions: PbCl2 (s) Pb+2 (aq) + 2 Cl-1(aq) Pb+2 (aq) + CrO4-2 (aq) PbCrO4 (s) K1 = Ksp = 1.7 x 10-5 K2 = 1 Ksp = 1 1.8 x 10-14
This large constant indicates the reaction should proceed from the left to the right.
Ag+ (aq) + 2 NH3 (aq) [Ag(NH3)2]+ (aq)Kform = 1.6 x 107 SUM: K = Ksp x Kform = 2.0 x 10-3 = {[Ag(NH3)2+}[Cl-1] [NH3]2
The equilibrium constant for dissolving silver chloride in ammonia is not large; however, if the concentration of ammonia is sufficiently high, the complex ion and chloride ion must also be high, and silver chloride will dissolve.
ACID-BASE AND PPT. EQUILIBRIA OF PRACTICAL SIGNIFICANCE SOLUBILITY OF SALTS IN WATER AND ACIDS
a) the solubility of PbS in water: PbS (s) Pb+2 + S-2 b) the hydrolysis of the S-2 ion in water S-2 + H2O HS-1 +OH-1 Overall process: PbS + H2O Pb+2 + HS-1 + OH-1 Ksp = 8.4 x 10-28
It may not seem like much but it can increase the environmental lead concentration by a factor of about 10,000 over the solubility of PbS calculated from simply Ksp! Any salt containing an anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid will dissolve in water to a greater extent than given by the Ksp. This means salts of sulfate, phosphate, acetate, carbonate, and cyanide, as well as sulfide can be affected. If a strong acid is added to water-insoluble salts such as ZnS or CaCO3, then hydroxide ions from the anion hydrolysis are removed by the formation of water. This shifts the anion hydrolysis further to the right; the weak acid is formed and the salt dissolves. Carbonates and many metal sulfides along with metal hydroxides are generally soluble in strong acids. The only exceptions are sulfides of mercury, copper, cadmium and a few others. Insoluble inorganic salts containing anions derived from weak acids tend to be soluble in solutions of strong acids. Salts are not soluble in strong acids if the anion is the conjugate base of a strong acid!! PREPARING SALTS BY ACID-BASE AND PPT. REACTIONS Want to prepare Nickel (II) nitrate:
Convert NiCl2 into an insoluble material using an anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid. Carbonate is a good choice. Filter, wash, add a strong acid HNO3 (just until the ppt. dissolves) since you want to make a nitrate salt. Water and carbon dioxide will also be formed. Evaporate to dryness and you get a hexahydrate of nickel (II) nitrate.
To make an inorganic salt, it is best to begin with a hydroxide soluble or insoluble or a carbonate and add a strong acid containing the desired anion. All reactions have a strong driving force: the formation of water or a gas such as carbon dioxide that is poorly soluble in water.
Add silver nitrate to ppt. silver chloride or silver phosphate. Silver chloride will not dissolve with the addition of nitric acid but silver phosphate will.
Metal Sulfides:
Carefully add sulfide ion, mercury, copper and cadmium will ppt. leaving zinc, cobalt and manganese in solutions. Lowering the pH will also cause sulfide ppts. Raising pH causes the sulfide ppts. to dissolve.
