A solution contains 0.10M each of ClX− and IX−. AgNOX3 is added until AgCl just starts to precipitate (volume change negligible). With Ksp(AgCl)=1.8×10−10 and Ksp(AgI)=8.5×10−17, what percentage of the original IX− is still in solution at this point?
A4.7×10−5%
B4.7×10−7%
C4.7×10−6%
D4.7×10−8%
Answer: A
AgCl starts at [AgX+]=1.8×10−10/0.10=1.8×10−9M. Then [IX−]=8.5×10−17/(1.8×10−9)=4.7×10−8M, which is 4.7×10−5% of 0.10M.
