Explanation / Answer

1. (a) molar solubility of SrSO4 in pure water

with x amount of salt in solution

Ksp = [Sr^2+][SO4^2-]

7.6 x 10^-7 = x^2

x = 8.72 x 10^-4 M

(b) molar solubility of SrF2 in pure water

with x amount of salt in solution

Ksp = [Sr^2+][F-]^2

7.9 x 10^-10 = (x)(2x)^2

x = 5.82 x 10^-4 M

(c) (i) the salt having lowest Ksp value is least soluble in solution and thus would precipitate first out of the solution. Thus, SrF2 would precipitate first.

(ii) [Sr2+] when SrF2 precipitates = Ksp/[F-]^2

                                                      = 7.9 x 10^-10/(0.02)^2     

                                                      = 1.975 x 10^-6 M

2. For NH3 + H2O <==> NH4+ + OH-

a. Equilibrium constant Kc = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3]

b. pH of 0.018 M NH3

[OH-] = 5.6 x 10^-4 M

pOH = -log[OH-] = 3.25

pH = 14 - pOH = 10.75

c. Kb = (5.6 x 10^-4)^2/(0.018)

         = 1.74 x 10^-8

d. % ionization = 5.6 x 10^-4 x 100/0.018 = 3.11%
