Question

A solution is a mixture of 0.05 M KCI and 0.05 M NaI. The concentration of I- in the solution when AgCI just starts to precipitate is equal to:  (KSPAgCI = 10-10 M2 ; KSPAgI = 4 × 10-16 M2)

Options

A.4 × 10-6 M
B.2 × 10-8 M
C.2 × 10-7 M
D.8 × 10-15 M

Solution

For AgCI precipitation   [Ag+] = = 2 × 10-9
For AgI precipitation [Ag+] = = 8 × 10-15
Thus AgI will precipitate first. AgCI will precipitate only when,
[Ag+] = 2 × 10-9;  Thus  [I-]Left = = 2 × 10-7 M
