1)
Precipita will form
Q = 9.92 ×10-8
Explanation
Na3PO4(aq) + Cr(NO3)3(aq) ------> CrPO4(s) + 3NaNO3(aq)
Net ionic equation is
Cr3+(aq) + PO43-(aq) -------> CrPO4(s)
Ksp = [Cr3+]eq[PO43-]eq
reaction quotient , Q = [Cr3+]init[PO43-]init
[Cr3+]init = 4.38 ×10-4M/2 = 2.19×10-4M
[PO43-]init = 9.06 ×10- 4/2 = 4.53× 10-4M
Q = 2.19 × 10-4M × 4.53 ×10-4M
Q = 9.92 × 10-8M
Ksp of CrPO4 = 2.24 × 10-23
Q > Ksp
Therefore,
Precipitate will form
2)
Precipitate will form
Q = 3.54 ×10-8
Explanation
MnBr2(aq) + (NH4)2CO3(aq) --------> MnCO3(s) + 2NH4Br(aq)
Net ionic equation
Mn2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) --------> MnCO3(aq)
Ksp = [Mn2+]eq[CO32-]eq
Q = Mn2+]init[CO32-]init
[Mn2+]init = 5.83 ×10-4M/(30ml/18ml) = 3.50×10-4 M
[CO32-`] = 2.53 ×10-4/(30ml/12ml) = 1.01 × 10-4 M
Q = 3.50 ×10-4M × 1.01 ×10-4M
Q = 3.54 ×10-8
Ksp of MnCO3 = 1.8 × 10-11
Q > Ksp
Therefore
Precipitate will form
