A solution of Na2CO3 is added dropwise to a solution that contains 1.14×10−2mol L−1 Fe^2+ and 1.54×10−2mol L−1 Cd2+. What concentration of CO3^2− is need to initiate precipitation? Neglect any volume changes during the addition.
The solubility-product constant, Ksp, at 25 ∘C for two compounds [iron(II) carbonate, FeCO3, and cadmium(II) carbonate, CdCO3] are given by the table
Substance | KspKsp |
FeCO3 | 2.10×10^−11 |
CdCO3 | 1.80×10^−14 |
Hii,
Please find the detailed explaination below.
EXPLAINATION :
NOTE: Qsp > Ksp, Hence precipitation occours first in cadmium carbonate.
Hope, This helps you alot for your better understanding.
Thanks
