A mining operation needs to separate silver and copper.You are to determine whether this separation can be accomplished by oxidizing the metals to Ag+ and Cu+, each one at a concentration of 0.15 M, and then precipitating one as the chloride salt without precipitating the other.What is the concentration of the Ag+ remaining in solution when CuCl begins to precipitate? (For AgCl, pKsp =9.74.and for CuCl, pKsp = 6.76.)
A) 1.57* 10-2 M
B) 1.57 * 10-4 M
C) 2.23 *10-2 M
D) 2.23 -10-4 M
E) 3.72* 10-3 M
