Show by calculations whether MnS (Ksp = 5.6 ✕
10-16) will precipitate when a 0.01 M solution of
Mn+2 containing 0.02 M H+1 is saturated with
H2S (0.1 M). For H2S,
K1xK2 = 6.3 ✕ 10-22
a) [Mn+2][S-2] Ksp; no, a
precipitate will not form
b) [Mn+2][S-2] > Ksp; yes, a
precipitate will form
c) [Mn+2][S-2] < Ksp; yes, a
precipitate will form
d) [Mn+2][S-2] > Ksp; no, a
precipitate will not form
