Ionic equilibrium
Question

0.01 mole of AgNO3 is added to 1 litre of a solution which is 0.1 M in Na2CrO4 and 0.005 M in 0.005 M in NaIO3. Calculate the millimoles of precipitate formed at equilibrium. (Ksp

 values of Ag2CrO4 and AgIO3 are 108 and 1013 respectively).

Moderate
Solution

The Ksp values of Ag2CrO4 and AgIO3 reveals that CrO42  and IO3 will be precipitated on addition of AgNO3 as : 

[Ag+][IO3]=  1013

[Ag+]needed=1013[0.005]=2×1011

[Ag+]2[CrO42]=108

[Ag+]needed=1080.1=3.16×104

Thus,AgIO3 will be precipitate first.

         AgNO30.01 0.005+NaIO30.005     0 AgIO3   0 0.005+NaNO3  0 0.005

The left mole of AgNO3 are now used to precipitate Ag2CrO4

2AgNO30.005     0+Na2CrO4   0.1 0.0975 Ag2CrO4   0 0.0025+2NaNO3  0 0.005

a total of moles formed is 0.0075 moles
