1 Precipitation Reactions Predicting Whether a Precipitate Will Form Note the ions present in the reactants Consider all possible cation-anion combinations Use the solubility rules to decide whether any of the ion combinations is insoluble An insoluble combination identifies the precipitate that will form Aqueous solution of AgNO3 and Na2CrO4 are mixed. Identify the precipitates (if any) that form Equilibria of Slightly Soluble Ionic Compounds: We lied to you in chem 115 y Ag2CrO4(s) will ppt For a slightly soluble ionic compound in water, equilibrium exists between solid solute and aqueous ions Lab Application: Selective precipitation method of removing one ion type while leaving others dissolved in solution Ions added to form an insoluble product(precipitate) with ion(s) remaining in supernatant When both products are insoluble, their relative Ksp values can be used for separation We are what we repeatedly do.
