Determine the concentration of Cl- remaining in solution if a precipitate forms when equal volumes of 7.76 x 10^-3 M HCl and 5.24 x10^-7 M AgNO3 are mixed to produce AgCl. Ksp AgCl = 1.6 x10^-10. Report the concentration of Cl- as a -log value, pCl = -log Cl- concentration
HCl + AgNO3 ----------------> AgCl + HNO3
1 1
7.76x10^-3 5.24 x10^-7
limiting reagent is AgNO3 . so AgNO3 consumed totally.
number of moles of H+ reamin = 7.76x10^-3 - 5.24 x10^-7
= 7.76 x 10^-3
equal volumes are mixed
[Cl-] = 7.76 x 10^-3 / 2
[Cl-] = 3.88 x 10^-3 M
pCl- = -log (3.88 x 10^-3)
pCl- = 2.41
