Video transcript

Hello everyone today. We have the following problem. Based on the following qualitative analysis flow chart, how can you separate bismuth ion and barium ion contained in a solution? So based on this flow chart, bismuth can be separated from this barium by adding hydrogen sulfide in order to precipitate the solid bismuth sulfide. And that is going to be from this chart here, and that is because barium is a group two ion and bismuth soul fight is as well. And so that is where the flow chart leads us to our answer. Overall, I hope this helped, and until next time.

Textbook Question
Citric acid (H3Cit) can be used as a household cleaning agent to dissolve rust stains. The rust, represented as Fe(OH)3, dissolves because the citrate ion forms a soluble complex with Fe3+ (a) Using the equilibrium constants in Appendix C and Kf = 6.3 x 10^11 for Fe(Cit), calculate the equilibrium constant K for the reaction. (b) Calculate the molar solubility of Fe(OH)3 in 0.500 M solution of H3Cit.

Textbook Question
Can Fe2+ be separated from Sn2+ by bubbling H2S through a 0.3 M HCl solution that contains 0.01 M Fe2+ and 0.01 M Sn2+? A saturated solution of H2S has [H2S] ≈ 0.10 M. Values of Kspa are 6 x 10^2 for FeS andd 1 x 10^-5 for SnS.

Textbook Question
In quantitative analysis, Ag+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ are seperated from other cations by the addition of HCl. Calculate the concentration of Cl-ions required to just begin the precipitation of (a) AgCl, (b) Hg2Cl2, (c) PbCl2 in a solution hav-ing metal-ion concentrations of 0.030 M. What fraction of the Pb2+ remains in solution when the Ag+ just begins to precipitate?
