Answer:
Solution A that will form a precipitate with Ksp = 2.3 x 10−4
Explanation:
Li₃PO₄ ⇄ 3 Li⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq)
3S S
Where S = Solubility(mole/lit) and Ksp = Solubility product
⇒ Ksp = (3S)³ x (S)
⇒ 27S⁴ = 2.3x10−4
⇒ S = 0.05 mol/lit
Concentration of Li₃PO₄ precipitate = 0.05
<u>Solution A </u>
0.500 lit of a 0.3 molar LiNO₃ contains 0.5 x 0.3 = 0.15 mole
0.4 lit of a 0.2 molar Na₃PO₄ contains = 3 x 0.4 x 0.2 = 0.24 mole
3 LiNO₃ + Na₃PO₄ → 3 NaNO₃ + Li₃PO₄
(Mole/Stoichiometry)
= 0.05 = 0.24
Since from (Mole/Stoichiometry) ratio we can conclude that LiNO₃ is limiting reagent.
So concentration of Li₃PO₄ is equal to 0.05.
Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 2 NaI (aq) --> PbI2 (s) + 2 NaNO3 (aq)
Starting with with 200.0 grams of Pb(NO3)2 and 120.0 grams of NaI:
A. What is the limiting reagent?
B. How many grams of PbI2 is theoretically formed?
C. How many grams of the excess reactant remains?
D. If 48 grams of NaNO3 actually formed in the reaction, what is the percent yield of this reaction?
