Solid NaI is slowly added to a solution that is 0.0079 M Cu+ and 0.0087 M Ag+.Which compound will begin to precipitate first?NaI

NeTakaya

Answer :

AgI should precipitate first.

The concentration of $Ag^+$ when CuI just begins to precipitate is, $6.64\times 10^{-7}M$

Percent of $Ag^+$ remains is, 0.0076 %

Explanation :

$K_{sp}$ for CuI is $1\times 10^{-12}$

$K_{sp}$ for AgI is $8.3\times 10^{-17}$

As we know that these two salts would both dissociate in the same way. So, we can say that as the Ksp value of AgI has a smaller than CuI then AgI should precipitate first.

Now we have to calculate the concentration of iodide ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CuI\rightleftharpoons Cu^++I^-$
