Calculate the mass of precipitate that will form if 0.75 L of 0.50 M lead nitrate is mixed with 0.850 L of concentrated sodium bromate. Ksp for lead bromate = 7.9 x 10-6.

Respuesta :

Answer : The mass of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] formed is 164.4 grams.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]PbNO_3(aq)+2NaBrO_3(aq)\rightarrow Pb(BrO_3)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)[/tex]

First we have to calculate the moles of [tex]PbNO_3[/tex].

[tex]\text{Moles of }PbNO_3=\text{Molarity}\times \text{Volume in L}=0.50M\times 0.75L=0.375moles[/tex]

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

Moles of [tex]PbNO_3[/tex] = Moles of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] = 0.375 mole

The moles of precipitate formed [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] = 0.375 mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] that dissolve in [tex]PbNO_3[/tex].

The dissociation of lead bromate is written as:

[tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2BrO_3^-[/tex]

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

[tex]K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][BrO_3^-]^2[/tex]

[tex]K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2[/tex]

[tex]K_{sp}=4s^3[/tex]

[tex]7.9\times 10^{-6}=4s^3[/tex]

[tex]s=0.0125M[/tex]

Total volume of the solution = 0.75 + 0.850 = 1.60 L

[tex]\text{Moles of }Pb(BrO_3)_2=\text{Molarity}\times \text{Volume in L}=0.0125M\times 1.60L=0.020moles[/tex]

The moles of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] that dissolve in [tex]PbNO_3[/tex] = 0.020 mole

The moles of precipitate formed [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] = 0.375 - 0.020 = 0.355 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] formed.

[tex]\text{ Mass of }Pb(BrO_3)_2=\text{ Moles of }Pb(BrO_3)_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex]

[tex]\text{ Mass of }Pb(BrO_3)_2=(0.355moles)\times (463g/mole)=164.4g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of [tex]Pb(BrO_3)_2[/tex] formed is 164.4 grams.
