EXAMPLE 1:

EXAMPLE 2:
For a solution of AgCR in water, the equilibrium is:
AgCR(s) Ag+(aq) + CR (aq)

EXAMPLE 2:
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, has a solubility in water of 0.0180 g L 1
at 25 EC. Calculate the Ksp for CaCO3. [MM of CaCO3 = 100.1 g mol 1]

EXAMPLE 3:
Calcium fluoride, CaF2, dissolves in water to the extent of 0.00170 g
per 100 mL. What is the Ksp for (CaF2) ? [MM CaF2 = 78.1 g mol 1]

EXAMPLE 4:
If solid PbCR2 equilibrates with pure water, what are [Pb2+] and [CR] in
the solution at equilibrium?

EXAMPLE 1:
Solid AgCR (Ksp = 1.8 1010) is equilibrated with 0.010 M NaCR solution.
a) How many moles of AgCR will dissolve in 1.0 L of the NaCR solution ?
EXAMPLE 2:
What is the concentration of Ca2+ (aq) in molL 1, in a solution made by
equilibrating CaF2(s) with 0.20 M KF solution?
[Ksp for CaF2 = 4.1 1011] (Compare this answer with p. 145)

EXAMPLE 3:
Calculate the solubility of PbCR2, in molL 1, in a solution of 0.15 M
MgCR2. [Ksp for PbCR2 is 1.7 x 10 5]

Now suppose that we mix two solutions containing the ions A+(aq)
and B2(aq). The sparingly soluble compound A2B may be formed.

EXAMPLE 1:
How much solid Pb(NO3)2 must be added to 1.0 L of 0.0010 M Na2SO4
solution for a precipitate of PbSO4 , [Ksp = 1.6 108] to form ?
Assume no change in volume when the solid is added.
152
EXAMPLE 2:
PbCR2 has Ksp = 1.7 10 5. If equal volumes of 0.030 M Pb(NO3)2 and
0.030 M KCR are mixed, will precipitation occur?
(Remember that dilution will occur: If equal volumes are mixed, the
concentration of each solute is halved.)
153
EXAMPLE 3:
An experiment is performed in which 100 mL of 0.300 M Ca(NO3)2 are
mixed with 200 mL of 0.20 M NaF.
[Ksp for CaF2 = 3.2 x 10 11]
i) Will precipitation occur?
154
EXAMPLE:
When 123.0 mL of a 0.0467 M KF solution is added to 234.0 mL of a
0.0100 M solution of Ba(NO3)2, the first trace of a precipitate of BaF2
is seen. What is the Ksp for BaF2 ?
155
SrSO4 has the lower Ksp and will precipitate first, when:

2.8 105
1.4 104
[Sr2+]

0.0060

EXAMPLE 1:
Ca(OH)2 has Ksp = 7.9 10 6.
What is the pH of a solution made by equilibrating solid Ca(OH)2 with
water?

EXAMPLE:
AgCR and AgBr are not appreciably soluble. When HNO3 is added,
nothing happens.
CH3COOAg also has a low solubility in water, but dissolves readily if
HNO3 is added.
Can we explain this observation qualitatively?
