The Common Ion Effect
Ag2CO3 2 Ag+ + CO3-2
What is the effect on solubility of AgWhat is the effect on solubility of Ag22COCO33 if I add CO if I add CO33-2-2??
The Common Ion Effect
Add common ion effect a salt will be less soluble if one of
its constituent ions is already present in the solution
The Common Ion EffectEXAMPLE: Calculate the molar
solubility of Ag2CO3 in a solution that is 0.0200 M in Na2CO3.
Ag2CO3 2 Ag+ + CO3-2
Ksp = [Ag+]2[CO3-2] = 8.1 X 10-12

4x2(0.0200M + x) = 8.1 X 10-12
EXAMPLE: Calculate the molar solubility of Ag2CO3 in a solution that is 0.0200 M in Na2CO3.
4x2(0.0200M + x) = 8.1 X 10-12
no exact solution to a 3rd order equation, need to make some approximationfirst, assume the X is very small
compared to 0.0200 M4X2(0.0200M) = 8.1 X 10-12
4X2(0.0200M) = 8.1 X 10-12
X= 1.0 X 10-5 M
EXAMPLE: Calculate the molar solubility of Ag2CO3 in a solution that is 0.0200 M in Na2CO3.
X = 1.0 X 10-5 M(1.3 X 10-4 M in pure water)
Second, check assumption[CO3
-2] = 0.0200 M + X ~ 0.0200 M0.0200 M + 0.00001M ~ 0.0200M
Assumption is ok!
Separation by Precipitation
Separation by PrecipitationComplete separation can mean a lot
… we should define complete.
Complete means that the concentration of the less soluble material has decreased to 1 X 10-6M or lower before the more soluble material begins to precipitate
Separation by PrecipitationEXAMPLE: Can Fe+3 and Mg+2 be separated
quantitatively as hydroxides from a solution that is 0.10 M in each cation? If the separation is possible, what range of OH- concentrations is permissible.

Is this [OH-] (that is in solution) great enough to start precipitating Mg2+?

EXAMPLE: Separate Iron and Magnesium?
Ksp = [Fe+3][OH-]3 = 2 X 10-39
Ksp = [Mg+2][OH-]2 = 7.1 X 10-12
Assume quantitative separation requires that the concentration of the less soluble material to have decreased to < 1 X 10-6M before the more soluble material begins to precipitate.
EXAMPLE: Separate Iron and Magnesium?
Ksp = [Fe+3][OH-]3 = 2 X 10-39
Ksp = [Mg+2][OH-]2 = 7.1 X 10-12
Assume [Fe+3] = 1.0 X 10-6MWhat will be the [OH-] @ equilibrium required to reduce the [Fe+3] to [Fe+3] = 1.0 X 10-6M ?Ksp = [Fe+3][OH-]3 = 2 X 10-39
EXAMPLE: Separate Iron and Magnesium?
Ksp = [Fe+3][OH-]3 = 2 X 10-39

EXAMPLE: Separate Iron and Magnesium?
What [OH-] is required to begin the precipitation of Mg(OH)2?
[Mg+2] = 0.10 M
Ksp = (0.10 M)[OH-]2 = 7.1 X 10-12
[OH-] = 8.4 X 10-6M
EXAMPLE: Separate Iron and Magnesium?
[OH-] to ‘completely’ remove Fe3+ = 1.3 X 10-11 M
[OH-] to start removing Mg2+ = 8.4 X 10-6M
“All” of the Iron will be precipitated b/f any of the magnesium starts to precipitate!!

Section 6-7
Question Can you think of a salt that when
dissolved in water is not an acid nor a base?
Can you think of a salt that when dissolved in water IS an acid or base?
Protic Acids and Bases - Salts Consider Ammonium chloride
Can ‘generally be thought of as the product of an acid-base reaction.
NH4+Cl- (s) NH4
+ + Cl-
From general chemistry – single positive and single negative charges are STRONG ELECTROLYTES – they dissolve completely into ions in dilute aqueous solution
Protic Acids and BasesConjugate Acids and Bases in the B-L
conceptCH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+ acid + base <=> conjugate base + conjugate acid
conjugate base => what remains after a B-L acid donates its protonconjugate acid => what is formed when a B-L base accepts a proton

Is there such a thing as Pure Water? In most labs the answer is NO Why?
A century ago, Kohlrausch and his students found it required to 42 consecutive distillations to reduce the conductivity to a limiting value.

6-9 Strengths of Acids and 6-9 Strengths of Acids and BasesBases
Strong Bronsted-Lowry Acid A strong Bronsted-Lowry Acid is
one that donates all of its acidic protons to water molecules in aqueous solution. (Water is base – electron donor or the proton acceptor). HCl as example
Strong Bronsted-Lowry Base Accepts protons from water
molecules to form an amount of hydroxide ion, OH-, equivalent to the amount of base added.
Example: NH2- (the amide ion)
Weak Bronsted-Lowry acid One that DOES not donate all of its
acidic protons to water molecules in aqueous solution.
Example? Use of double arrows! Said to reach
equilibrium.
Weak Bronsted-Lowry base Does NOT accept an amount of
protons equivalent to the amount of base added, so the hydroxide ion in a weak base solution is not equivalent to the concentration of base added.
example: NH3
