A solution contains 0.026 M Hg2+2 and 0.019 M Pb2+. If you add Cl−, Hg2Cl2 and PbCl2 will begin to precipitate.
A) What is the concentration of Cl− required, in molarity, when Hg2Cl2 precipitation begins?
B) What is the concentration of Cl− required, in molarity, when Hg2Cl2 precipitation is 99.99% complete?
C) What is the concentration of Cl− required, in molarity, when PbCl2 precipitation begins?
D) What is the concentration of Cl− required, in molarity, when PbCl2 precipitation is 99.99% complete?
Finally, give the Cl− concentration range in which Hg2+2 can be completely separated from Pb2+ by precipitation.
E) Give the lowest Cl− concentration for the separation of Hg2+2 from Pb2+
F) Give the highest Cl− concentration for the separation of Hg2+2 from Pb2+.
