Solubility Product Determination

Purpose • To determine the solubility product constant, Ksp, of an ionic compound.

Introduction The solubility product constant, Ksp, is a particular type of equilibrium constant. The equilibrium is formed when an ionic solid dissolves in water to form a saturated solution. The equilibrium exists between the aqueous ions and the undissolved solid. A saturated solution contains the maximum concentration of ions of the substance that can dissolve at the solution’s temperature. The equilibrium equation showing the ionic solid lead chloride dissolving in water is:

PbCl2(s) ( Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

The solubility product expression is:

Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]2

A knowledge of the Ksp …show more content…
Place 5 drops of 0.10 M sodium hydroxide in each of the wells #1 through #12. Stir thoroughly with a toothpick. 7. Allow three or four minutes for the precipitates to form. Observe the pattern of precipitation. Record.

Part II Ksp by dilution of hydroxide ions. 1. Repeat the procedure in Part I, but use a serial dilution of NaOH followed by 5 drops of calcium nitrate in each well.

Data Analysis

Part I 1. Determine the concentration of the calcium ion in each well after the serial dilution but before the sodium hydroxide has been added. 2. Determine the concentration of the calcium ion in each well after the sodium hydroxide has been added. 3. Determine the concentration of the hydroxide ion in each well. 4. Assume that the first well with no precipitate contains a saturated solution. Calculate the solubility product of calcium hydroxide using the concentrations in this well.

Part II 1. Determine the concentration of the hydroxide ion in each well after the serial dilution but before the calcium nitrate has been added. 2. Determine the concentration of the hydroxide ion in each well after the calcium nitrate has been added. 3. Determine the concentration of the calcium ion in each …show more content…
Again calculate the solubility product of calcium hydroxide using the concentrations in the first well that has no precipitate. 4. Average the two values of Ksp determined in Parts I and II. 5. Look up the accepted value for the Ksp of calcium hydroxide and calculate percent error.

    In this lab, we dissolved a calcium-enriched tablet and participate the calcium ion as calcium carbonate. Our purpose is to determine the masses of calcium carbonate and calcium ion, to determine the mass percent of calcium ion in the tablet and to compare the masses and the percent with the listed tablet ingredients. This time we used a 150mL beaker, analytical balance, forceps, a 50mL graduated cylinder, a glass rod, beaker tongs, a hot plate, two 16 x 125-mm test tubes, centrifuge, a medicine dropper, a filter paper, a filter funnel, a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask, a watch glass, a drying oven, a spatula and a red litmus paper. The chemicals we need were 20mL of 2.0M HCl, a calcium-enriched tablet and 25mL of 1.0M Na2CO3 solution.…

    Abstract: The purpose of the lab, Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction, is to be able to calculate the amount of a second reactant we need to react with the reactant one. You must calculate the amount of the second reactant using stoichiometry to figure out what amount is needed. After the amount is calculated, you then can add it to the first reactant and it will give you a full reaction. To figure out what you need you have to use stoichiometry. My calculation for the second reactant was: 1.0g CaCl2*2H2O(1mol CaCl2*2H­2O/147g CaCl2*2H2O)(1mol Na2CO3/1mol CaCl2*2H2O)(106g Na2CO3/1mol Na2CO3) = 0.72g Na2CO3. The final, when its dried in the paper filtered weighed at 1.6 grams.…

    Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction

    Weigh out your 1.0g of CaCl2-2H20 and put it into the 100mL beaker, Add your 25mL of distilled water and stir to form the calcium chloride solution. Next, use stoichiometry to determine how much Na2CO3 and put it into a small paper cup. Then add the 25mL of distilled water to make the sodium carbonate solution. Mix the two solutions in the beaker and a precipitate of calcium carbonate will form instantly. Next set up your filtration assembly. After the filtration assembly is ready, swirl the contents of the beaker to dislodge any precipitate from the sides. Then, pour the content of the beaker into the filter paper-lined funnel carefully. After that you will need to measure out 2 to 5mL of distilled water into a graduated cylinder. Pour it down the sides of the beaker, swirl, and pour into the filter paper-lined funnel. Once all the liquid has drained from the funnel, lay the filter paper containing the precipitate on folded layers of paper towels and set it somewhere to air-dry. Once the filter paper and the precipitated calcium carbonate are completely dry, weigh them, subtract the original weight of the empty filter paper, and record the net weight of the calcium carbonate. That is your actual yield of calcium carbonate. After that you can calculate the percent yield, using your theoretical yield and actual yield. Be sure to clean up properly, rinse any remaining chemicals down the sink and throw paper cups and towels in the garbage. Clean and dry all equipment you used.…

    Experiment 5

    By measuring the concentration of the hydroxide ion from a solution saturated with Ca(OH)2 titration analysis against HCl, the experiment’s objective is to determine the solubility constant of calcium hydroxide. But, there are few limitations in solubility constant concept, like the Diverse Ion effect and the Common ion effect. Sources of error probably were the assumptions made throughout the experiment and can be explained further by the limitations of the solubility constant.…
