Question: A solution contains 0 . 0 0 0 1 0 M copper ( I ) ions and 0 . 0 0 2 0 M lead

A solution contains 0.00010 M copper (I) ions and 0.0020 M lead (II) ions.
a. What minimal concentration of iodide ions added to the above solution will cause precipitation of
lead (II) iodide? Ksp, PbI2=1.4 x 10-8
b. What minimal concentration of iodide ions will cause precipitation of copper (I) iodide?
Ksp, CuI =1.0 x 10-12
c. Imagine that you are adding KI solution dropwise to the above solution, which salt will precipitate
first and what will remain in solution?
d. Is KI addition a viable method for separating copper (I) ions from lead (II) ion? Explain.
