The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Why is Mg not precipitated in group V?", we can break down the explanation into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Group V Precipitation**: - Group V in qualitative analysis typically includes ions that do not precipitate with common reagents used in the analysis. 2. **Identifying Magnesium**: - Magnesium (Mg) is an alkaline earth metal and is part of the s-block elements in the periodic table. 3. **Solubility of Magnesium Compounds**: - Magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) is a compound that can be formed during the analysis. However, it is important to note that magnesium carbonate is soluble in water. 4. **Ksp (Solubility Product Constant)**: - The solubility product constant (Ksp) is a measure of how much of a compound can dissolve in water. A high Ksp value indicates that the compound is more soluble. 5. **High Ksp of Magnesium Carbonate**: - The Ksp of magnesium carbonate is relatively high. This means that when magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) and carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻) are present, they do not readily precipitate out of solution because the tendency to remain dissolved is strong. 6. **Comparison with Group V Ions**: - In contrast, the Ksp values of the compounds formed by the ions in group V are generally much lower. This means that these ions are more likely to precipitate when mixed with reagents. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the reason magnesium does not precipitate in group V is primarily due to the high Ksp of magnesium carbonate, which allows it to remain soluble in solution. ### Final Answer: Magnesium is not precipitated in group V because the Ksp of magnesium carbonate is high, indicating that it remains soluble in water. ---
