You are given an aqueous solution and are asked to analyze it for the presence (or absence) of Ag+(aq), Ca2+(aq), and/or Hg2+(aq

) ions. There are no other metal ions in the solution.  You add aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) to the solution, and nothing appears to happen.  You add aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to the solution, and a white precipitate forms.  You remove (via filtration) the white precipitate, and then add aqueous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to the solution that remains. A black precipitate forms. Based on these observations, which ions are present in the original solution? (a) Ag+(aq), Ca2+(aq), and Hg2+(aq) (b) only Ag+(aq) and Hg2+(aq) (c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq) (d) only Ag+(aq) and Ca2+(aq) (e) only Hg2+(aq)

Answer:

(c) only Ca2+(aq) and Hg2+(aq)

Explanation:

  • In the first step, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to the solution. In this case the equilibrium that could take place is:

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) ↔ AgCl(s)

But no precipitate was formed, so Ag⁺(aq) is absent.

  • By adding H₂SO₄(aq) the next equilibrium that could take place is:

Ca⁺²(aq) + SO₄⁻²(aq)  ↔ CaSO₄(s)

A white precipitate was formed, so Ca⁺² is present in the solution.

  • The following could take place after adding H₂S(aq):

Hg²⁺(aq) + S⁻² ↔ HgS(s)

A black precipitate formed, so Hg⁺² is present as well.

What are the best parts of science
Oliga [24]

Explanation

There are three main branches of science: physical science, Earth science and life science. Let's talk about each branch and the areas of study within each branch. Physical science is the study of inanimate natural objects and the laws that govern them.

Write the balanced reaction and solubility product expression (KSP) for dissolving silver chromate: Ag2CrO4(s). Include all char
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2Ag⁺ (aq)  + CrO₄⁻² (aq) ⇄  Ag₂CrO₄ (s) ↓

Ksp = [2s]²  . [s] → 4s³

Explanation:

Ag₂CrO₄ → 2Ag⁺  + CrO₄⁻²

Chromate silver is a ionic salt that can be dissociated. When we have a mixture of both ions, we can produce the salt which is a precipitated.

2Ag⁺ (aq)  + CrO₄⁻² (aq) ⇄  Ag₂CrO₄ (s) ↓ Ksp

That's the expression for the precipitation equilibrium.

To determine the solubility product expression, we work with the Ksp

Ag₂CrO₄ (s)  ⇄ 2Ag⁺ (aq)  + CrO₄⁻² (aq)   Ksp

                          2 s                 s

Look the stoichiometry is 1:2, between the salt and the silver.

Ksp = [2s]²  . [s] → 4s³
