1. Precipitation Analysis Considering the formation of solid from solution. Q vs. Ksp Ion Analysis

2. How to predict whether a precipitate will form when two solutions are mixed? Investigate Qsp vs. Ksp at initial concentrations Q = Ksp “Saturated” solution occurs. No changes. Q > Ksp Precipitates will form until saturated. Equilibrium shifts left. Q < Ksp NO precipitate forms. Solid dissolves. Equilibrium shifts right.

3. Sample Exercise p. 734 Predict whether precipitate will form? Q > Ksp PPT will form!

4. Selective Precipitation Mixtures of metals in solutions are separated using a technique called selective precipitation. Using a reagent whose anion forms a precipitate with only one or a few of the metals in the mixture. Sulfide salts (sulfide ion) is often used!

5. Sample Exercise 17.16 p.735

6. Qualitative Analysis of Cations Separating mixtures into five major categories based on solubility. #1. Insoluble Chlorides #2. Insoluble sulfides in Acids. #3. Insoluble sulfides in Bases. #4. Insoluble carbonates. #5. Alkali metals and ammonium ions.
