A pH controller that feeds NaOH to a chromium precipitation tank is set to pH 6.2, which enables most of the dissolved chromium to be removed from a metal plating waste stream and be recovered as a chromium hydroxide precipitate. If the pKsp of Cr(OH); is 30.2, what will be the equilibrium dissolved chromium concentration (in ppb) remaining in solution after the precipitate has completely settled from the treated water?

A sample containing BaCl, 2H,0, KCI and inert material weighed 0.8417 g. After heating the sample at 160°C for 45 min, it weighed 0.8076 g. The sample was then dissolved in water and treated with a slight excess of AgNo,. The resulting precipitate was collected and found to weigh 0.5847 g. Calculate the % Bacl,-2H,0 and % KCI in the sample. 3.

15). If Ca(NO3) (aq) is slowly added to solution containing CO32– and SO42– what compound would precipitate out first given the solubility products (Ksp (CaSO4) = 2.4 x 10–5 and Ksp (CaCO3) = 8.7 x 10–9)? CaCO3 would precipitate first because it is least soluble. CaSO4 would precipitate first because it is least soluble. CaCO3 would precipitate first because it is more soluble. CaSO4 would precipitate first because it is more soluble.

suppose you have a solution that might contain any or all of the following cations: Cu2+, Ag+, Ba2+, and Mn2+. The addition of HBr cuases a precipitate to from. After the precipitate is separated by filtration, H2SO4 is added to the supernatant liquid, and another precipitate forms. Thsi precipitate is separated bu filtration and a solution of NaOH is added to the supernatant liquid until it si strongly alkaline. No precipitate is fromed.Which ions are present in each of the precipitates? Which cations are not present in the original solution?
