When 25.0 mL of a 2.72×10-4 M manganese(II) chloride solution is combined with 25.0 mL of a 2.14×10-4 M potassium carbonate solution does a precipitate form? (yes/no)
AND For these conditions the Reaction Quotient, Q, is equal to: _____
concnetration of manganese(II) chloride = 25 x 2.72 x 10^-4 / 25 + 25
= 1.36 x 10^-4 M
concnetration of potassium carbonate = 25 x 2.14 x 10^-4 / 25 + 25
= 1.07 x 10^-4 M
MnCO3 -----------------> Mn+2 + CO32-
Q = [Mn+2][CO32-]
= (1.36 x 10^-4 )(1.07 x 10^-4)
Q = 1.46 x 10^-8
Reaction Quotient, Q = 1.46 x 10^-8
Ksp of MnCO3 = 2.24×10–11
here Q > Ksp .
so precipitate forms.
