Question:
Silver ions have long been known to have biocidal properties. The increasing use of silver for this purpose has led to greater silver concentrations in waste water, and there has been some concern about it. However, recent studies found that the silver was largely put back into the environment as Ag2S. The solubility of this sulfide is 1.4 × 10−4 g/L.
(a) Estimate the K′sp for Ag2S. (See Table 18b in Appendix J.)
(b) How does the solubility of Ag2S change as the pH decreases?
Data given in Table 18b
