When a solution of Pb(NO3)2(aq) is mixed with a solution of KI(aq), a precipitate of PbI₂ will form; K⁺ and NO₃⁻ are spectator ions.

Explanation:

When an aqueous solution of lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂ is mixed with aqueous solution of potassium iodide (KI), then there is a precipitate formation of lead iodide (PbI₂), and the potassium (K⁺) ion and nitrate (NO₃⁻) ion acts as spectator ions that is ions do not involved in the reaction.

The reaction can be represented as,

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI₂(s) + 2KNO₃(aq)

The ionic equation can be written as,

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 K⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

On both sides of the equation, we have K⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions, which gets cancelled, and these 2 ions are called as spectator ions.

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the acid dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the base dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :
