Questions and Answers

What is the significance of Ksp in the context of solubility?

  • Ksp measures the concentration of ions in a saturated solution.
  • Ksp represents the molar ratio of the cation and anion in a salt.
  • Ksp indicates the solubility product of a salt at a specific temperature. (correct)
  • Ksp determines the color change at the endpoint of a titration.
  • Which salt precipitates first in the given sequence?

  • AgBr
  • AgSCN
  • AgCN
  • AgI (correct)
  • What is the purpose of using Potassium Chromate (K2CrO4) as an indicator in the titration process?

  • To neutralize the solution for accurate endpoint detection.
  • To prevent the precipitation of Ag2CrO4 at the endpoint.
  • To form a yellow color at the endpoint when all Cl- ions are consumed. (correct)
  • To react with Ag+ ions to form a red precipitate at the endpoint.
  • At what pH range should Mohr's method be conducted to avoid masking of the endpoint color?

    Study Notes

    • Ag/Cl system: AgCl precipitates in order of decreasing Ksp values - AgI, AgBr, AgCl
    • Ksp values for various silver salts: AgI (8.3 × 10-17), AgBr (5.0 × 10-13), AgCN (2.2 × 10-16), AgSCN (1.82 × 10-10)
    • Standard Ag-Cl precipitation titration: Type: direct, Standard solution: AgNO3, pH: neutral to slightly alkaline (pH ≈ 6.5 -9)
    • Endpoint detection: Ag2CrO4 (brick red ppt) formation due to the reaction with AgNO3 and K2CrO4 indicator
    • Mohr's method: Neutral or slightly alkaline medium (pH ≈ 6.5 -9)
    • Precipitation of AgOH and Ag2O at pH > 9, consumption of titrant and masking of endpoint color
    • At pH < 6.5: chromate ion changes to acid chromate and dichromate, forming soluble salts with Ag+, preventing colored ppt formation at endpoint.
