SolidNa2SO4is slowly added to a solution which is0.020 MinBaNO32and0.020 MinPbNO32. Assume that there is no increase in volume on addingNa2SO4. There preferential precipitation takes place. What is the concentration of Ba 2+ whenPbSO 4 starts to precipitate?

KspBaSO4=1.0 × 10-10andKspPbSO4=1.6 × 10-8

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

WhenBaSO4begins to precipitate

SO42-=KspBaSO4Ba2+=1.0×10-100.020

=5.0 × 10-9 M

WhenPbSO4begins to precipitate

SO42-=KspPbSO4Pb2+=1.6×10-80.020

=8.0 × 10-7 M

SO42-is less forBaSO4precipitation soBaSO4precipitates first whenPbSO4begins to precipitateSO42-=8.0 × 10-7Mat that point concentration ofBa2+=KspBaSO4SO42-

=1.0×10-108.0×10-7=1.25 × 10-4 M
