For each of the seven metal cations (K+, Ba2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Fe3+), write out the corresponding solubility equilibrium equations that would give rise to a precipitate with ammonia. Be careful to use the appropriate arrows (⇄ vs. →), depending on the compound’s solubility. Using the Ksp values provided in Table 2, predict whether it would form using 5 drops (0.25 mL) of 3 M NH3 and 1 mL of 0.10 M metal nitrate solution.
Your answer must include:
• The relevant chemical equation(s) showing dissociation or equilibrium of the
products into their ionic components.
• The Ksp values and equations
• Calculations showing how concentrations were determined
• Unique Qsp calculations
• A comparison of Qsp and Ksp, and discussion of what this comparison predicts
about precipitate (solid) formation.
