@AZ do you know chemistry?

Timmyspu:

I can try to help you

AZ:

Let's do one at a time For \(\sf AgCl\), the \(K_{sp}\) is \( 1.8\times 10^{-10}\) And you have correctly written out the \(\sf K_{sp}\) expression in part A. We also know that the solution has \(\sf 0.10~ M~~ AgNO_3\) so that means the concentration of \(\sf Ag^+\) is \(\sf 0.10 ~M\) so plug it into your \(\sf K_{sp}\) expression and solve for the concentration of \(\sf Cl^-\) needed to precipitate \(\sf AgCl\)

AZ:

For \(\sf AgCl\) \(\sf K_{sp} = [Ag^+]~[Cl^-]\) and we know that \(\sf K_{sp}~ for ~AgCl = 1.8\times 10^{-10}\) and that \(\sf [Ag^+] = 0.10~M\) so plug it in and solve for \(\sf [Cl^-]\) all you have to do is divide on both sides by 0.10

AZ:

And now for \(\sf PbCl_2\) \(\sf K_{sp} = [Pb^{+}]~[Cl^-]^2\) and we know that \(\sf K_{sp}~ for ~PbCl_2 = 1.6\times 10^{-5}\) and that \(\sf [Pb_2] = 0.20~M\) so plug it in and solve for \(\sf [Cl^-]\) all you have to do is divide on both sides by 0.20

AZ:

And for part C) The precipitate (\(\text{AgCl}\) or \(\text{PbCl}_2\)) that requires a \(\bf lower\) concentration of \(\sf [Cl^-]\) will be the one that precipitates \(\bf first\) since \(\sf Q_{sp} > K_{sp}\)
