Suppose that you precipitate Hg22+Hg 2 2 +from a solution containing 0.01 M Hg2(NO 3 )20.01 M

Question:

Suppose that you precipitate Hg22+Hg22+from a solution containing 0.01 M Hg2(NO3)20.01 M Hg2(NO3)2and 0.01 M Pb(NO3)20.01M Pb(NO3)2 by adding I-l- . If you want to know whether a small amount of Pb2+Pb2+ coprecipitates with Hg2I2,Hg2I2 should you measure PbPb in the mother liquor (the solution) or PbPb in the precipitate? Which measurement is more sensitive? By “sensitive,” we mean responsive to a small amount of coprecipitation.
