Question: For the titration in Example 18-7, verify the assertion that [Ag + ] increases very rapidly between the point at which AgBr has finished precipitating

For the titration in Example 18-7, verify the assertion that [Ag+] increases very rapidly between the point at which AgBr has finished precipitating and Ag2CrOis about to begin. 


Example 18-7

AgNO3(aq) is slowly added to a solution that has [CrO42-] = 0.010 M and [Br-] = 0.010 M.

(a) Show that AgBr(s) should precipitate before Ag2CrO4(s) does.

(b) When Ag2CrO4(s) begins to precipitate, what is [Br-] remaining in solution?

(c) Is complete separation of Br-(aq) and CrO42-(aq) by fractional precipitation feasible?
