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.
