If the water I used to saturate a solid is acidic, will it effect the calculation for Ksp? If so, how?

Expert Solution

The answer is: IT DEPENDS.

If the acidic water solution you are using is a very dilute solution of H2SO4, and you are calculating the Ksp for a compound which contains sulfate ion, say PbSO4, then you will have to take into account the amount of SO42- ions that come with the acidic water. This is because if you had used pure water, then the number of moles of solid PbSO4 that would have dissolved would have been greater. But since there is a common ion present in acidic water, so it reduces the number of moles of PbSO4 that can dissolve.

So if you a case of COMMON ION EFFECT, then certainly it would affect the solubility product (Ksp) calculations.

Acidic solution In acidic solution, the iodate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is IO3−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)→I−(aq)+Sn4+(aq) Since this reaction takes place in acidic solution, H2O(l) and H+(aq) will be involved in the reaction. Places for these species are indicated by the blanks in the following restatement of the equation: IO3−(aq)+Sn2+(aq)+ −−−→I−(aq)+Sn4+(aq)+ −−− Part A What are the coefficients of the reactants and products in the balanced equation above?

I performed an electrophilic aromatic substitution- iodination of salicylamide. I used 1.012 g of solid salicylamide in 20 mL ethanol. 1.205 g of sodium iodide was also added. Then I placed the solution in an ice bath for 5 min and after this time 7.0 mL of 8.25% NaOCl was added. What is the expected product and why?
