Can Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ be separated by precipitating FeS(s) and not MnS(s)? Assume [Fe 2+

Question:

Can Fe2+ and Mn2+ be separated by precipitating FeS(s) and not MnS(s)? Assume [Fe2+] = [Mn2+] = [H2S] = 0.10 M. Choose a [H3O+] that ensures maximum precipitation of FeS(s) but not MnS(s). Will the  separation be complete? For FeS, Kspa = 6 x 102; for MnS, Kspa = 3 x 107.
