    Common Ion Effect

    The presence of one of the ions a salt dissociates into reduces the solubility of the salt.

     

    What is the molar solubility of AgCl in 0.1M HCl? (Ksp = 1.8×10-10)

     

     

     

    What is the molar solubility of Ag2S in 0.0010M AgNO3? (Ksp = 6.0×10-51)

    Precipitation

    What is the maximum concentration of hydroxide present in a solution with [Mg2+] = 0.010M?  (Ksp Mg(OH)2 = 1.6×10-12)

     

     

     

     

    To a solution of 1.0×10-4M Mg(NO3)2, NaOH was added to a final concentration of 2.0×10-4M. Did a precipitate form?  (Ksp Mg(OH)2 = 1.6×10-12)

     

     

     

     

    50.0mL of 1.0×10-4M Mg(NO3)2 was mixed with 50.0mL of 2.0×10-4M NaOH. Did a precipitate form?  (Ksp Mg(OH)2 = 1.6×10-12)

    Qsp vs Ksp
    Qsp < Ksp Unsaturated
    Qsp = Ksp Saturated
    Qsp > Ksp A Precipitate Forms
