•Solubility is decreased when a common ion is added.

•This is an application of Le Châtelier’s principle:

BaSO4 ⇌ Ba2+ + SO42-

•As SO42- (from Na2SO4, say) is added, the

equilibrium shifts away from the increase. •Therefore, BaSO4(s) is formed and precipitation occurs.

•As Na2SO4 is added to the system, the solubility of BaSO4 decreases.

Pb(NO3)2 → Pb2+ + 2NO3-

•Solution volumes are additive. Concentrations of the important ions are: 100 mL x 0.10 M ÷ 200 mL = 0.050 M Pb2+

100 mL x 0.010 M ÷ 200 mL = 0.0050 M SO42-

•Qsp = [Pb2+][SO42-] = (0.050)(0.0050) = 2.5 x 10-4

•Ksp = [1.0 x 10-8][S2-] = 3.0 x 10-53

Kb =(x+(3.9 x 10-5))(3.9 x 10-5)

(0.10-(3.9 x 10-5))=1.8 x 10-5

(3.9 x 10-5)2 <<x so (x+(3.9x10-5))(3.9 x 10-5)= x(3.9 x 10-5)

Kb =x(3.9 x 10-5)

If a solution is made 0.080 M in Mg(NO3)2, 0.075 M in aqueous ammonia, and 3.5 M in NH4NO3, will Mg(OH)2 precipitate? What is the pH of this solution?

Mg(OH)2 ⇌ Mg2+ + 2OH- Ksp = 1.5 x 10-11

NH3 + H2O ⇌ NH4+ + OH- Kb = 1.8 x 10-5

[Mg2+] = [Mg(NO3)2] = 0.080 M[OH-] = Kb x [base]/[salt] (see chapter 18 - buffers)

[OH-] = (1.8 x 10-5)(0.075 M)÷(3.5 M) = 3.9 x 10-7

Qsp = [Mg2+][OH-]2 = (0.080)(3.9 x 10-7)2 = 1.2 x 10-14

Qsp<Kb ; Mg(OH)2 will not precipitate

[OH-] = 3.9 x 10-7 ; pOH = 6.41; pH = 7.5941
