yes because its kind of like a seesaw if theres too much on one side its unbalance there has to be the same amount of atoms on each side
Answer:
The solution will not form a precipitate.
Explanation:
The Ksp of PbI₂ is:
PbI₂(s) ⇄ 2I⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)
Ksp = 1.40x10⁻⁸ = [I⁻]²[Pb²⁺] <em>Concentrations in equilibrium</em>
When 328mL of 0.00345M NaI(aq) is combined with 703mL of 0.00802M Pb(NO₃)₂. Molar concentration of I⁻ and Pb²⁺ are:
[I⁻] = 0.00345M × (328mL / (328mL+703mL) =<em> 1.098x10⁻³M</em>
[Pb²⁺] = 0.00802M × (703mL / (328mL+703mL) =<em> 5.469x10⁻³M</em>
<em />
Q = [I⁻]²[Pb²⁺] <em>Concentrations not necessary in equilibrium</em>
If Q = Ksp, the solution is saturated, Q > Ksp, the solution will form a precipitate, if Q < Ksp, the solution is not saturated.
Replacing:
Q = [1.098x10⁻³M]²[5.469x10⁻³M] = 6.59x10⁻⁹
As Q < Ksp, the solution is not saturated and <em>will not form a precipitate</em>.
