The correct Answer is:
To determine which salt will precipitate last when AgNO₃ is added to a solution containing equal moles of NaCl, NaBr, NaI, and Na₂CrO₄, we need to analyze the solubility products (Ksp) of the salts formed with AgNO₃. The salts in question are Ag₂CrO₄, AgCl, AgBr, and AgI, with their respective Ksp values given as follows: - Ksp (Ag₂CrO₄) = 1.1 x 10^(-12) - Ksp (AgCl) = 1.8 x 10^(-10) - Ksp (AgBr) = 5.0 x 10^(-13) - Ksp (AgI) = 8.3 x 10^(-17) ### Step 1: Write the dissociation equations and Ksp expressions 1. **Ag₂CrO₄**: \[ Ag_2CrO_4 (s) \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^+ (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq) \] \[ Ksp = [Ag^+]^2 [CrO_4^{2-}] \] 2. **AgCl**: \[ AgCl (s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + Cl^- (aq) \] \[ Ksp = [Ag^+][Cl^-] \] 3. **AgBr**: \[ AgBr (s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + Br^- (aq) \] \[ Ksp = [Ag^+][Br^-] \] 4. **AgI**: \[ AgI (s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^+ (aq) + I^- (aq) \] \[ Ksp = [Ag^+][I^-] \] ### Step 2: Calculate the solubility (S) of each salt Using the Ksp values, we can calculate the solubility of each salt. 1. **For Ag₂CrO₄**: \[ Ksp = 4S^3 \implies S = \sqrt[3]{\frac{Ksp}{4}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1.1 \times 10^{-12}}{4}} \approx 0.65 \times 10^{-4} \text{ M} \] 2. **For AgCl**: \[ Ksp = S^2 \implies S = \sqrt{Ksp} = \sqrt{1.8 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 1.34 \times 10^{-5} \text{ M} \] 3. **For AgBr**: \[ Ksp = S^2 \implies S = \sqrt{Ksp} = \sqrt{5.0 \times 10^{-13}} \approx 0.71 \times 10^{-6} \text{ M} \] 4. **For AgI**: \[ Ksp = S^2 \implies S = \sqrt{Ksp} = \sqrt{8.3 \times 10^{-17}} \approx 0.9 \times 10^{-8} \text{ M} \] ### Step 3: Compare the solubilities Now we compare the calculated solubilities: - Ag₂CrO₄: \(0.65 \times 10^{-4}\) M - AgCl: \(1.34 \times 10^{-5}\) M - AgBr: \(0.71 \times 10^{-6}\) M - AgI: \(0.9 \times 10^{-8}\) M ### Step 4: Determine which salt precipitates last The salt with the highest solubility will precipitate last. From our calculations: - Ag₂CrO₄ has the highest solubility. ### Conclusion Thus, the salt that will precipitate last when AgNO₃ is added to the solution is **Ag₂CrO₄** (Option D). ---
