In photography, unexposed silver bromide is removed from film by soaking the film in a solution of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. Silver ion forms a soluble complex with thiosulfate ion, S2O32-, that has the formula Ag(S2O3)23-, and formation of the complex causes the AgBr in the film to dissolve. The Ag(S2O3)23- complex has Kform= 2.0 x 1013. How many grams of AgBr (Ksp= 5.4 x 10-13) will dissolve in 126 mL of 1.27 M Na2S2O3 solution?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Kform= [Ag(S2O3)23-]/ ([Ag+][S2O32-]2) = 2.0 x 1013

Ksp= [Ag+][Br-] = 5.4 x 10-13

AgBr = Ag+ + Br-                            Ksp= [Ag+][Br-] = 5.4 x 10-13

Ag+   + 2 S2O32- = Ag(S2O3)23-        Kform= [Ag(S2O3)23-]/ ([Ag+][S2O32-]2) = 2.0 x 1013

………………………………………………….

AgBr + 2 S2O32- = Ag(S2O3)23- + Br-     K = [Ag(S2O3)23-][Br-]/[S2O32-]2 =Kform x Ksp

K = Kform x Ksp = 10.8

[Ag(S2O3)23-] = [Br-]   because the concentration of available Ag+ equals [Br-].

Thus K = [Br-]2/[S2O32-]2

0.126 L x 1.27 mol/L = 0.160 mol S2O32- available in 127 mL solution

(0.080 mol of Ag(S2O3)23- may be formed , with a small correction for re-equilibration.

The concentration of the complex Ag(S2O3)23- is close to 1.27 M/2 = 0.635 M

AgBr + 2 S2O32- = Ag(S2O3)23- + Br-            

0               0              0.635 M        0.635 M                initial state

x               2x            0.635 M         0.635-x               at equilibrium

K = 0.635(0.635-x)/ (2x2)     

Solve the quadratic equation or….                       

Assuming x<<0.635

10.8 = 0.6352/x2

x = 0.193 M

Reiterate the calculation because   x is not <<0.635

10.8 = 0.635x(0.635-0.193)/x2

x= 0.161

Reiterate

10.8 = 0.635x(0.635-0.161)/x2

x= 0.166

Reiterate

10.8 = 0.635x(0.635-0.166)/x2

x= 0.166      Good!

At equilibrium [Br-] = (0.635-0.166) = 0.469 M

In 126 mL solution:

0.469 mol/L x 0.126 L = 0.0591 mol Br- from AgBr dissolution

0.0591 mol x 187.77 g AgBr/mol = 11.1 g AgBr will be dissolved

Silver bromide, AgBr (s), is an essential reagent in black and white film developing. It is, however, only sparingly soluble in water.
