A solution contains 2.0 ⨯ 10−4 M Ag+(aq) and 1.5 ⨯ 10−3 M Pb2+(aq). If NaI is added, will AgI (Ksp = 8.3 ⨯ 10−17) or PbI2 (Ksp = 7.9 ⨯ 10−9) precipitate first? Specify the concentration of I−(aq) needed to begin precipitation.

Answer:

The silver iodide will precipitate first.

At concentration more than [tex]4.15\times 10^{-13} M[/tex] of iodide ion will result in precipitation of silver iodide.

At concentration more than [tex]0.0023 M[/tex] of iodide ion will result in precipitation of lead iodide.

Explanation:

Solubility of silver iodide = [tex]K_{sp}=8.3\times 10^{-17}[/tex]

[tex]AgI\rightleftharpoons Ag^++I^-[/tex]

Concentration of silver ions = [tex][Ag^+]=2.0\times 10^{-4} M[/tex]

Suppose concentration of iodide ion due NaI added in solution be = [tex][I^-][/tex]

The expression of solubility product will be given as :

[tex]K_{sp}=[Ag^+][I^-][/tex]

[tex][I^-]=\frac{8.3\times 10^{-17}}{2.0\times 10^{-4} M}=4.15\times 10^{-13} M[/tex]

At concentration more than [tex]4.15\times 10^{-13} M[/tex] of iodide ion will result in precipitation of silver iodide.

Solubility of lead iodide = [tex]K_{sp}'=7.9\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

[tex]PbI_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2I^-[/tex]

Concentration of silver ions = [tex][Pb^{2+}]=1.5\times 10^{-3} M[/tex]

Suppose concentration of iodide ion due NaI added in solution be = [tex][I^-][/tex]

The expression of solubility product will be given as :

[tex]K_{sp}'=[Pb^{2+}][I^-]^2[/tex]

[tex][I^-]^2=\frac{7.9\times 10^{-9}}{1.5\times 10^{-3} M}=4.15\times 10^{-13}[/tex]

[tex][I^-]=0.0023 M[/tex]

At concentration more than [tex]0.0023 M[/tex] of iodide ion will result in precipitation of lead iodide.

For silver iodide , we need concentration of iodide more than [tex]4.15\times 10^{-13} M[/tex] and for lead iodide , we need concentration of iodide more than 0.0023 M. So , this indicates that silver iodide will precipitate out first.

Silver iodide is the first precipitate. silver iodide or lead iodide precipitates at concentrations greater than 4.15× 10⁻¹³ M or 2.3 ×10⁻³ M of iodide ions.

Concentration calculation:

Calculating the value for the first question that is the AgI ppts first:

⇒ AgI

⇒ K = [Ag] [I]

⇒ 8.3 × 10⁻¹⁷= [2e⁻⁴][I]

⇒ [I] = 4.15× 10⁻¹³ Molar

Calculating the value for the second question, which is AgI to ppt, [I] > 4.15× 10⁻¹³ Molar

⇒ PbI₂

⇒ K = [Pb] [I]²

⇒ 7.9×  10⁻⁹ = [1.5 × 10⁻³] [I]²

⇒ I² = 5.26 ×  10⁻⁶

⇒ I = 2.3 ×10⁻³ Molar
