Learning Objectives
- To understand why the solubility of many compounds depends on pH.
The solubility of many compounds depends strongly on the pH of the solution. For example, the anion in many sparingly soluble salts is the conjugate base of a weak acid that may go protonated in solution. In improver, the solubility of elementary binary compounds such as oxides and sulfides, both stiff bases, is often dependent on pH. In this section, we talk over the human relationship between the solubility of these classes of compounds and pH.
The Consequence of Acrid–Base of operations Equilibria the Solubility of Salts
We brainstorm our word by examining the effect of pH on the solubility of a representative table salt, \(\ce{One thousand^{+}A^{−}}\), where \(\ce{A^{−}}\) is the conjugate base of operations of the weak acid \(\ce{HA}\). When the table salt dissolves in water, the following reaction occurs:
\[\ce{MA (south) \rightleftharpoons M^{+} (aq) + A^{-} (aq)} \label{17.13a} \nonumber\]
with
\[K_{sp} = [\ce{M^{+}}][\ce{A^{−}}] \label{17.13b} \nonumber\]
The anion tin too react with water in a hydrolysis reaction:
\[\ce{A^{-} (aq) + H2O (50) \rightleftharpoons OH^{-} (aq) + HA (aq)} \label{17.14}\]
Because of the reaction described in Equation \(\ref{17.14}\), the predicted solubility of a sparingly soluble salt that has a basic anion such as S2−, POfour 3 −, or CO3 two − is increased. If instead a strong acid is added to the solution, the added H+ will react essentially completely with A− to class HA. This reaction decreases [A−], which decreases the magnitude of the ion product
\[Q = [\ce{M^{+}}][\ce{A^{-}}]\]
Co-ordinate to Le Chatelier's principle, more MA will deliquesce until \(Q = K_{sp}\). Hence an acidic pH dramatically increases the solubility of virtually all sparingly soluble salts whose anion is the cohabit base of a weak acid. In contrast, pH has little to no effect on the solubility of salts whose anion is the cohabit base of a stronger weak acid or a strong acid, respectively (east.g., chlorides, bromides, iodides, and sulfates). For example, the hydroxide salt Mg(OH)ii is relatively insoluble in h2o:
\[Mg(OH)_{2(s)} \rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+} (aq) + 2OH^− (aq) \label{17.15a}\]
with
\[K_{sp} = five.61 \times 10^{−12} \label{17.15b}\]
When acid is added to a saturated solution that contains excess solid Mg(OH)2, the following reaction occurs, removing OH− from solution:
\[H^+ (aq) + OH^− (aq) \rightarrow H_2O (50) \label{17.16}\]
The overall equation for the reaction of Mg(OH)2 with acrid is thus
\[Mg(OH)_{2(s)} + 2H^+ (aq) \rightleftharpoons Mg^{ii+} (aq) + 2H_2O (l) \label{17.17}\]
As more acid is added to a suspension of Mg(OH)ii, the equilibrium shown in Equation \(\ref{17.17}\) is driven to the correct, then more Mg(OH)2 dissolves.
Such pH-dependent solubility is not restricted to salts that contain anions derived from water. For case, CaF2 is a sparingly soluble table salt:
\[CaF_{2(s)} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{two+} (aq) + 2F^− (aq) \label{17.18a}\]
with
\[K_{sp} = 3.45 \times ten^{−xi} \label{17.18b}\]
When potent acrid is added to a saturated solution of CaF2, the following reaction occurs:
\[H^+ (aq) + F^− (aq) \rightleftharpoons HF (aq) \label{17.19}\]
Because the forrad reaction decreases the fluoride ion concentration, more CaFtwo dissolves to relieve the stress on the system. The net reaction of CaF2 with stiff acid is thus
\[CaF_{two(s)} + 2H^+ (aq) \rightarrow Ca^{ii+} (aq) + 2HF (aq) \label{17.20}\]
Case \(\PageIndex{one}\) shows how to summate the solubility effect of adding a strong acid to a solution of a sparingly soluble salt.
Sparingly soluble salts derived from weak acids tend to be more soluble in an acidic solution.
Example \(\PageIndex{one}\)
Atomic number 82 oxalate (PbC2O4), lead iodide (PbI2), and lead sulfate (PbSOiv) are all rather insoluble, with K sp values of 4.viii × 10−ten, 9.8 × 10−9, and two.53 × 10−8, respectively. What effect does calculation a strong acid, such as perchloric acid, take on their relative solubilities?
Given: 1000 sp values for three compounds
Asked for: relative solubilities in acrid solution
Strategy:
Write the balanced chemic equation for the dissolution of each salt. Considering the strongest conjugate base volition be most affected by the improver of strong acid, determine the relative solubilities from the relative basicity of the anions.
Solution
The solubility Equilibria for the three salts are as follows:
\[PbC_2O_{four(s)} \rightleftharpoons Atomic number 82^{2+} (aq) + C_2O^{two−}_{4(aq)} \nonumber\]
\[PbI_{two(s)} \rightleftharpoons Pb^{two+} (aq) + 2I^− (aq) \nonumber\]
\[PbSO_{4(s)} \rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+} (aq) + SO^{2−}_{iv(aq)} \nonumber\]
The improver of a strong acrid volition have the greatest effect on the solubility of a table salt that contains the conjugate base of a weak acid as the anion. Because HI is a strong acid, nosotros predict that calculation a strong acid to a saturated solution of PbI2 volition not profoundly bear on its solubility; the acrid will just dissociate to course H+(aq) and the respective anion. In dissimilarity, oxalate is the fully deprotonated form of oxalic acid (HO2CCO2H), which is a weak diprotic acid (pG a1 = 1.23 and pK a2 = 4.19). Consequently, the oxalate ion has a significant affinity for one proton and a lower affinity for a second proton. Calculation a strong acid to a saturated solution of atomic number 82 oxalate will result in the post-obit reactions:
\[C_2O^{ii−}_{4(aq)} + H^+ (aq) \rightarrow HO_2CCO^−_{2(aq)} \nonumber\]
\[HO_2CCO^−_{ii(aq)} + H^+ (aq) \rightarrow HO_2CCO_2H (aq) \nonumber\]
These reactions will decrease [CiiO4 2 −], causing more atomic number 82 oxalate to deliquesce to salvage the stress on the system. The pThousand a of HSO4 − (1.99) is similar in magnitude to the p1000 a1 of oxalic acrid, so calculation a strong acid to a saturated solution of PbSOiv volition result in the following reaction:
\[ SO^{2-}_{iv(aq)} + H^+ (aq) \rightleftharpoons HSO^-_{4(aq)} \nonumber\]
Because HSOfour − has a pKa of one.99, this reaction will lie largely to the left as written. Consequently, nosotros predict that the effect of added strong acid on the solubility of PbSOfour will exist significantly less than for PbCiiO4.

Caves and their associated pinnacles and spires of rock provide one of the most impressive examples of pH-dependent solubility Equilbria(part (a) in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\):). Mayhap the near familiar caves are formed from limestone, such as Carlsbad Caverns in New United mexican states, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and Luray Caverns in Virginia. The primary reactions that are responsible for the formation of limestone caves are as follows:
\[\ce{CO2(aq) + H2O (fifty) \rightleftharpoons H^{+} (aq) + HCO^{−}iii(aq)} \label{17.21}\]
\[\ce{HCO^{−}three(aq) \rightleftharpoons H^{+} (aq) + CO^{2-}3(aq)} \characterization{17.22}\]
\[\ce{Ca^{2+} (aq) + CO^{2−}3(aq) \rightleftharpoons CaCO3(s)} \label{17.23}\]
Limestone deposits that form caves consist primarily of CaCO3 from the remains of living creatures such every bit clams and corals, which used it for making structures such every bit shells. When a saturated solution of CaCO3 in COtwo-rich h2o rises toward World'south surface or is otherwise heated, CO2 gas is released as the h2o warms. CaCO3 then precipitates from the solution according to the following equation (part (b) in Effigy \(\PageIndex{1}\):):
\[Ca^{ii+} (aq) + 2HCO^−_{3(aq)} \rightleftharpoons CaCO_{3(s)} + CO_{two(m)} + H_2O (50) \label{17.24}\]
The forrard direction is the aforementioned reaction that produces the solid called scale in teapots, coffee makers, water heaters, boilers, and other places where hard h2o is repeatedly heated.
When groundwater-containing atmospheric COtwo (Equations \(\ref{17.21}\) and \(\ref{17.22}\)) finds its way into microscopic cracks in the limestone deposits, CaCOiii dissolves in the acidic solution in the reverse management of Equation \(\ref{17.24}\). The cracks gradually overstate from ten–50 µm to 5–x mm, a process that can take as long as 10,000 yr. Somewhen, after about some other 10,000 yr, a cave forms. Groundwater from the surface seeps into the cavern and clings to the ceiling, where the water evaporates and causes the equilibrium in Equation \(\ref{17.24}\) to shift to the right. A circular layer of solid CaCO3 is deposited, which eventually produces a long, hollow spire of limestone called a stalactite that grows downwards from the ceiling. Below, where the droplets country when they fall from the ceiling, a like procedure causes another spire, called a stalagmite, to abound upwardly. The same processes that carve out hollows beneath footing are besides at work above ground, in some cases producing fantastically convoluted landscapes like that of Yunnan Province in Red china (Effigy \(\PageIndex{2}\)).
Acidic, Bones, and Amphoteric Oxides and Hydroxides
One of the earliest classifications of substances was based on their solubility in acidic versus basic solution, which led to the classification of oxides and hydroxides as being either basic or acidic. Bones oxides and hydroxides either react with water to produce a basic solution or dissolve readily in aqueous acrid. Acidic oxides or hydroxides either react with water to produce an acidic solution or are soluble in aqueous base. At that place is a clear correlation betwixt the acidic or the basic character of an oxide and the position of the element combined with oxygen in the periodic tabular array. Oxides of metallic elements are mostly basic oxides, and oxides of nonmetallic elements are acidic oxides. Compare, for example, the reactions of a typical metallic oxide, cesium oxide, and a typical nonmetal oxide, sulfur trioxide, with water:
\[Cs_2O (s) + H_2O (l) \rightarrow 2Cs^+ (aq) + 2OH^− (aq) \label{17.25}\]
\[SO_{3(g)} + H_2O (l) \rightarrow H_2SO_{iv(aq)} \characterization{17.26}\]
Cesium oxide reacts with water to produce a basic solution of cesium hydroxide, whereas sulfur trioxide reacts with water to produce a solution of sulfuric acid—very different behaviors indeed
Metal oxides generally react with h2o to produce basic solutions, whereas nonmetal oxides produce acidic solutions.
The difference in reactivity is due to the difference in bonding in the two kinds of oxides. Because of the low electronegativity of the metals at the far left in the periodic table, their oxides are best viewed as containing detached Thoun + cations and O2− anions. At the other end of the spectrum are nonmetal oxides; due to their higher electronegativities, nonmetals form oxides with covalent bonds to oxygen. Because of the high electronegativity of oxygen, nonetheless, the covalent bond between oxygen and the other atom, E, is usually polarized: Eδ +–Oδ−. The atom East in these oxides acts as a Lewis acrid that reacts with the oxygen cantlet of h2o to produce an oxoacid. Oxides of metals in high oxidation states too tend to exist acidic oxides for the same reason: they contain covalent bonds to oxygen. An example of an acidic metal oxide is MoOthree, which is insoluble in both h2o and acid merely dissolves in strong base to give solutions of the molybdate ion (MoO4 2 −):
\[MoO_{iii(s)} + 2OH^− (aq) \rightarrow MoO^{2−}_{4(aq)} + H_2O (fifty) \characterization{17.27}\]
As shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\), at that place is a gradual transition from basic metal oxides to acidic nonmetal oxides as we get from the lower left to the upper right in the periodic table, with a wide diagonal band of oxides of intermediate character separating the two extremes. Many of the oxides of the elements in this diagonal region of the periodic table are soluble in both acidic and basic solutions; consequently, they are called amphoteric oxides (from the Greek ampho, meaning "both," as in amphiprotic). Amphoteric oxides either dissolve in acrid to produce water or deliquesce in base to produce a soluble circuitous. As shown in Video \(\PageIndex{1}\), for example, mixing the amphoteric oxide Cr(OH)iii (as well written as CrtwoO3•3H2O) with water gives a muddy, purple-brown suspension. Calculation acid causes the Cr(OH)3 to dissolve to give a bright violet solution of Crthree +(aq), which contains the [Cr(H2O)six]3+ ion, whereas calculation strong base gives a green solution of the [Cr(OH)four]− ion. The chemical equations for the reactions are as follows:
\[\mathrm{Cr(OH)_3(s)}+\mathrm{3H^+(aq)}\rightarrow\underset{\textrm{violet}}{\mathrm{Cr^{three+}(aq)}}+\mathrm{3H_2O(50)} \label{17.28}\]
\[\mathrm{Cr(OH)_3(s)}+\mathrm{OH^-(aq)}\rightarrow\underset{\textrm{greenish}}{\mathrm{[Cr(OH)_4]^-}}\mathrm{(aq)}\label{17.29}\]
Video \(\PageIndex{ane}\): Chromium(III) Hydroxide [Cr(OH)iii or CrtwoO3•3H2O] is an Case of an Amphoteric Oxide. All 3 beakers originally independent a suspension of brownish imperial Cr(OH)three(south) (center). When concentrated acid (half-dozen M H2Then4) was added to the chalice on the left, Cr(OH)three dissolved to produce violet [Cr(HiiO)6]3+ ions and water. The addition of concentrated base of operations (half-dozen M NaOH) to the beaker on the right acquired Cr(OH)3 to dissolve, producing light-green [Cr(OH)4]−ions.

Example \(\PageIndex{2}\)
Aluminum hydroxide, written every bit either Al(OH)3 or AliiO3•3H2O, is amphoteric. Write chemic equations to draw the dissolution of aluminum hydroxide in (a) acid and (b) base of operations.
Given: amphoteric chemical compound
Asked for: dissolution reactions in acid and base of operations
Strategy:
Using Equations \(\ref{17.28}\) and \(\ref{17.29}\) equally a guide, write the dissolution reactions in acid and base of operations solutions.
Solution
- An acid donates protons to hydroxide to give water and the hydrated metal ion, so aluminum hydroxide, which contains iii OH− ions per Al, needs three H+ ions:
\[Al(OH)_{three(s)} + 3H^+ (aq) \rightarrow Al^{3+} (aq) + 3H_2O (50) \nonumber\]
In aqueous solution, Al3 + forms the complex ion [Al(H2O)half-dozen]3+.
- In basic solution, OH− is added to the compound to produce a soluble and stable poly(hydroxo) complex:
\[Al(OH)_{three(s)} + OH^− (aq) \rightarrow [Al(OH)_4]^− (aq) \nonumber\]

- Answer
-
\[Cu(OH)_{ii(s)} + 2H^+ (aq) \rightarrow Cu^{2+} (aq) + 2H_2O (l) \nonumber\]
\[Cu(OH)_{two(s)} + 2OH^− (aq) \rightarrow [Cu(OH)_4]^2_{−(aq)} \nonumber\]
Selective Precipitation Using pH
Many dissolved metal ions can be separated by the selective precipitation of the cations from solution under specific conditions. In this technique, pH is often used to control the concentration of the anion in solution, which controls which cations precipitate.
The concentration of anions in solution tin often exist controlled by adjusting the pH, thereby allowing the selective precipitation of cations.
Suppose, for case, nosotros have a solution that contains ane.0 mM Zn2 + and i.0 mM Cdtwo + and want to separate the two metals by selective precipitation as the insoluble sulfide salts, ZnS and CdS. The relevant solubility equilbria can exist written as follows:
\[ZnS (due south) \rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+} (aq) + S^{2−} (aq) \label{17.30a}\]
with
\[K_{sp}= 1.6 \times ten^{−24} \label{17.30b}\]
and
\[CdS (s) \rightleftharpoons Cd^{2+} (aq) + S^{2−} (aq) \label{17.31a}\]
with
\[K_{sp} = 8.0 \times 10^{−27} \characterization{17.31b}\]
Considering the Due south2− ion is quite basic and reacts extensively with water to give HS− and OH−, the solubility equilbria are more than accurately written as \(MS (southward) \rightleftharpoons M^{2+} (aq) + HS^− (aq) + OH^−\) rather than \(MS (due south) \rightleftharpoons M^{2+} (aq) + Due south^{2−} (aq) \). Here we use the simpler course involving S2−, which is justified because nosotros take the reaction of Sii− with water into account later in the solution, arriving at the aforementioned reply using either equilibrium equation.
The sulfide concentrations needed to cause \(ZnS\) and \(CdS\) to precipitate are as follows:
\[K_{sp} = [Zn^{2+}][S^{2−}] \label{17.32a}\]
\[1.half dozen \times x^{−24} = (0.0010\; Thou)[S^{two−}]\label{17.32b}\]
\[1.half-dozen \times ten^{−21}\; M = [South^{ii−}]\characterization{17.32c}\]
and
\[K_{sp} = [Cd^{2+}][S^{2−}] \characterization{17.33a}\]
\[8.0 \times 10^{−27} = (0.0010\; M)[S^{2−}]\label{17.33b}\]
\[8.0 \times 10^{−24}\; M = [S^{2−}] \characterization{17.33c}\]
Thus sulfide concentrations betwixt 1.half-dozen × 10−21 M and viii.0 × 10−24 M will precipitate CdS from solution merely non ZnS. How exercise nosotros obtain such low concentrations of sulfide? A saturated aqueous solution of HtwoS contains 0.10 K H2Due south at 20°C. The pYard a1for H2S is half-dozen.97, and pK a2 corresponding to the formation of [Southii−] is 12.xc. The equations for these reactions are as follows:
\[H_2S (aq) \rightleftharpoons H^+ (aq) + HS^− (aq) \characterization{17.34a}\]
with
\[pK_{a1} = 6.97 \; \text{and hence} \; K_{a1} = 1.1 \times 10^{−vii} \label{17.34b}\]
\[HS^− (aq) \rightleftharpoons H^+ (aq) + S^{ii−} (aq) \characterization{17.34c}\]
with
\[pK_{a2} = 12.xc \; \text{and hence} \; K_{a2} = one.3 \times 10^{−13} \label{17.34d}\]
We tin can show that the concentration of Stwo− is ane.iii × ten−13 by comparison Grand a1 and K a2 and recognizing that the contribution to [H+] from the dissociation of HS− is negligible compared with [H+] from the dissociation of H2S. Thus substituting 0.10 M in the equation for Thou a1 for the concentration of H2S, which is substantially constant regardless of the pH, gives the following:
\[K_{\textrm{a1}}=i.i\times10^{-7}=\dfrac{[\mathrm{H^+}][\mathrm{HS^-}]}{[\mathrm{H_2S}]}=\dfrac{x^2}{0.ten\textrm{ Yard}}
\\x=1.ane\times10^{-iv}\textrm{ M}=[\mathrm{H^+}]=[\mathrm{HS^-}] \label{17.35}\]
Substituting this value for [H+] and [HS−] into the equation for K a2,
\[K_{\textrm{a2}}=i.iii\times10^{-thirteen}=\dfrac{[\mathrm{H^+}][\mathrm{S^{2-}}]}{[\mathrm{HS^-}]}=\dfrac{(1.i\times10^{-4}\textrm{ M})x}{1.ane\times10^{-4}\textrm{ M}}=x=[\mathrm{S^{2-}}]\]
Although [Southwardii−] in an H2S solution is very low (1.three × 10−xiii G), bubbling HtwoS through the solution until information technology is saturated would precipitate both metal ions because the concentration of S2− would then exist much greater than ane.half-dozen × ten−21 1000. Thus we must suit [S2−] to stay inside the desired range. The near straight way to practise this is to suit [H+] by adding acid to the H2S solution (recollect Le Chatelier's principle), thereby driving the equilibrium in Equation \(\ref{17.34d}\) to the left. The overall equation for the dissociation of H2S is as follows:
\[H_2S (aq) \rightleftharpoons 2H^+ (aq) + Southward^{2−} (aq) \label{17.36}\]
At present we can use the equilibrium constant One thousand for the overall reaction, which is the product of 1000 a1 and K a2, and the concentration of H2S in a saturated solution to calculate the H+ concentration needed to produce [Southward2−] of 1.6 × ten−21 G:
\[K=K_{\textrm{a1}}K_{\textrm{a2}}=(ane.one\times10^{-7})(1.3\times10^{-thirteen})=ane.4\times10^{-20}=\dfrac{[\mathrm{H^+}]^2[\mathrm{S^{2-}}]}{[\mathrm{H_2S}]} \label{17.37}\]
\[\begin{align}\mathrm{[H^+]^2}=\dfrac{K[\mathrm{H_2S}]}{[\mathrm{S^{2-}}]}=\dfrac{(i.iv\times10^{-xx})(\textrm{0.10 Grand})}{1.6\times10^{-21}\textrm{ M}}&=0.88
\\ [\mathrm{H^+}]&=0.94\end{align} \label{17.38}\]
Thus adding a strong acrid such every bit HCl to make the solution 0.94 M in H+ volition foreclose the more soluble ZnS from precipitating while ensuring that the less soluble CdS volition precipitate when the solution is saturated with H2South.
Example \(\PageIndex{3}\)
A solution contains 0.010 M Ca2 + and 0.010 Thousand La3 +. What concentration of HCl is needed to precipitate La2(C2O4)3•9H2O but not Ca(CiiOiv)•HtwoO if the concentration of oxalic acid is 1.0 M? K sp values are 2.32 × ten−9 for Ca(CtwoO4) and 2.5 × 10−27 for La2(CtwoO4)iii; pG a1 = 1.25 and pK a2 = 3.81 for oxalic acid.
Given: concentrations of cations, Grand sp values, and concentration and pK a values for oxalic acid
Asked for: concentration of HCl needed for selective atmospheric precipitation of La2(C2Oiv)3
Strategy:
- Write each solubility product expression and summate the oxalate concentration needed for precipitation to occur. Determine the concentration range needed for selective precipitation of La2(C2O4)3•9HiiO.
- Add the equations for the first and 2nd dissociations of oxalic acrid to get an overall equation for the dissociation of oxalic acrid to oxalate. Substitute the [ox2 −] needed to precipitate La2(CiiO4)3•9H2O into the overall equation for the dissociation of oxalic acid to summate the required [H+].
Solution
A Because the salts accept different stoichiometries, we cannot directly compare the magnitudes of the solubility products. Instead, we must apply the equilibrium abiding expression for each solubility product to summate the concentration of oxalate needed for precipitation to occur. Using ox2 − for oxalate, we write the solubility product expression for calcium oxalate as follows:
\[K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][ox^{2−}] = (0.010)[ox^{2−}] = 2.32 \times 10^{−9} \nonumber\]
\[[ox^{ii−}] = 2.32 \times 10^{−vii}\; Grand \nonumber\]
The expression for lanthanum oxalate is as follows:
\[K_{sp} = [La^{3+}]^2[ox^{2−}]^3 = (0.010)^2[ox^{ii−}]^three = 2.5 \times 10^{−27} \nonumber\]
\[[ox^{2−}] = two.9 \times ten^{−8}\; M \nonumber\]
Thus lanthanum oxalate is less soluble and will selectively precipitate when the oxalate concentration is between \(2.9 \times 10^{−viii} K\) and \(2.32 \times 10^{−7} Yard\).
B To prevent Ca2 + from precipitating as calcium oxalate, we must add enough H+ to give a maximum oxalate concentration of 2.32 × 10−7 M. Nosotros can calculate the required [H+] past using the overall equation for the dissociation of oxalic acrid to oxalate:
\[HO_2CCO_2H (aq) \rightleftharpoons 2H^+ (aq) + C_2O^{two−}_{4(aq)}\]
K = K a1 M a2 = (10−1.25)(x−three.81) = 10−five.06 = 8.vii×ten−6
Substituting the desired oxalate concentration into the equilibrium abiding expression,
\[\begin{align}8.seven\times10^{-6}=\dfrac{[\mathrm{H^+}]^ii[\mathrm{ox^{ii-}}]}{[\mathrm{HO_2CCO_2H}]} &= \dfrac{[\mathrm{H^+}]^2(two.32\times10^{-seven})}{1.0} \\ [\mathrm{H^+}] &=\textrm{six.1 Grand}\end{align} \nonumber\]
Thus adding plenty HCl to give [H+] = half-dozen.one M will cause only La2(C2O4)three•9H2O to precipitate from the solution.
Practise \(\PageIndex{3}\)
A solution contains 0.015 M Atomic number 26two + and 0.015 Grand Pbii +. What concentration of acid is needed to ensure that Pb2 + precipitates as PbS in a saturated solution of H2Due south, but Fe2 + does non precipitate as FeS? Grand sp values are 6.three × x−eighteen for FeS and 8.0 × 10−28 for PbS.
- Answer
-
0.018 M H+
Summary
The anion in sparingly soluble salts is oftentimes the conjugate base of a weak acid that may become protonated in solution, so the solubility of simple oxides and sulfides, both potent bases, often depends on pH. The anion in many sparingly soluble salts is the conjugate base of operations of a weak acid. At low pH, protonation of the anion can dramatically increment the solubility of the salt. Oxides tin be classified equally acidic oxides or basic oxides. Acidic oxides either react with water to requite an acidic solution or deliquesce in stiff base; most acidic oxides are nonmetal oxides or oxides of metals in high oxidation states. Bones oxides either react with water to give a basic solution or dissolve in strong acid; most basic oxides are oxides of metallic elements. Oxides or hydroxides that are soluble in both acidic and bones solutions are called amphoteric oxides. Most elements whose oxides exhibit amphoteric behavior are located along the diagonal line separating metals and nonmetals in the periodic table. In solutions that contain mixtures of dissolved metal ions, the pH tin be used to control the anion concentration needed to selectively precipitate the desired cation.
