KI(aq) is slowly added to a solution with [Pb 2+ ] = [Ag + ] = 0.10
Question:
KI(aq) is slowly added to a solution with [Pb2+] = [Ag+] = 0.10 M. For PbI2, Ksp = 7.1 x 10-9; for AgI, Ksp = 8.5 x 10-17.
(a) Which precipitate should form first, PbI2 or AgI?
(b) What [I¯] is required for the second cation to begin to precipitate?
(c) What concentration of the first cation to precipitate remains in solution at the point at which the second cation begins to precipitate?
(d) Can Pb2+(aq) and Ag+(aq) be effectively separated by fractional precipitation of their iodides?
