If you had an aqueous mixture that contained Ag⁺,K⁺,and Pb⁺² cations,how many different solids could precipitate if a chloride solution was added?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cations Ag+, K+, and Pb2+ can form insoluble chlorides, AgCl, KCl, and PbCl2, respectively. Therefore, two different solids can precipitate when a chloride solution is added. The other cation, ⁺, does not form an insoluble chloride, and hence will remain in solution. The ² cation also does not form an insoluble chloride because it has a higher charge and a larger size, hence will remain in solution.
