A 0166 M NaBr and 0048 M NaCl mixture is going to be treated
A 0.166 M NaBr and 0.048 M NaCl mixture is going to be treated with AgNO3. Calculate the % of bromide ion present when the choride starts to precipitate. Ksp (AgCl) = 1.8x10-10; (AgBr) = 5.0x10-13
Report your answer to two significant figures.
Solution
1) Which is the more soluble? We need to look at how the two substances ionize:
AgCl ---> Ag+ + Cl
