Question

15. For Hg2I2 Ksp = 4.6 x 10^-29

a) Ve

volume of KI added = 0.1 M x 25 ml/0.2 M = 12.5 ml

[Hg2I2] formed = 0.1 m x 25 ml/(25 + 12.5) ml = 0.067 M

C              -x                   +x         -2x

E           0.067-x               x          2x

with x being a small change in precipitate concentration

Ksp = [Hg2^2+][I-]^2

4.6 x 10^-29 = (x)(2x)^2

x = 2.26 x 10^-10 M

p[Hg2] = -log(2.26 x 10^-10) = 9.65

b) 1.2 Ve

volume KI added = 12.5 x 1.2 = 15 ml

excess [I-] = 2.5 ml x 0.2 M/15 ml = 0.033 M

feed this value in Ksp equation,

[Hg2^2+] = Ksp/[I-]^2 = 4.6 x 10^-29/(0.033)^2 = 4.22 x 10^-26 M

p[Hg2] = -log[Hg2^2+] = 25.37

----------

For PbI2 Ksp = 7.9 x 10^-9

a) Ve

volume of KI added = 0.1 M x 25 ml/0.2 M = 12.5 ml

[PbI2] formed = 0.1 m x 25 ml/(25 + 12.5) ml = 0.067 M

C              -x              +x         -2x

E           0.067-x          x          2x

with x being a small change in precipitate concentration

Ksp = [Pb^2+][I-]^2

7.9 x 10^-9 = (x)(2x)^2

x = 1.25 x 10^-3 M

p[Pb] = -log(1.25 x 10^-3) = 2.90

b) 1.2 Ve

volume KI added = 12.5 x 1.2 = 15 ml

excess [I-] = 2.5 ml x 0.2 M/15 ml = 0.033 M

feed this value in Ksp equation,

[Pb^2+] = Ksp/[I-]^2 = 7.9 x 10^-9/(0.033)^2 = 7.25 x 10^-6 M

p[Pb] = -log[Pb^2+] = 5.14

Explanation / Answer

15. A 25.0 ml solution containing 0.10 M with respect to Pb,' and Hg ions are titrated with a 0.20 M KI solution. Calculate the pM values (where M-Pb or Hg) at a) V, and b) 1.2 Ve. Kap(Pbl2)-7.9x109
