19C: Determination of a Solubility Product Constant


Purpose

To prepare differing concentrations of Pb2+ and I-, solutions and mixing combinations of them, observing whether a precipitate occurs. We will also determine the approximate range of the Ksp value of PbI2 at room temperature and at temperatures higher than room temperature.

Materials

Apparatus:

        12 test tubes (18mm × 150mm)

        2 test tube racks

        2 graduated cylinder (10mL)

        2 eye droppers

        1 beaker (400mL)

        2 beakers (100mL)

        bunsen burner

        ring stand and ring

        wire gauze

        thermometer

        safety goggles

Reagents:

        0.0103M Pb(NO3)2

        0.0214M KI

Procedure

Questions and Calculations

1.

Test tube A

0.0103M Pb(NO3)2 × 10.0mL / 20.0mL = 0.00515M Pb(NO3)2

[Pb2+] = 0.00515M

Test tube B

0.0103M Pb(NO3)2 × 8.0mL / 20.0mL = 0.0041M Pb(NO3)2

[Pb2+] = 0.0041M

Test tube C

0.0103M Pb(NO3)2 × 6.0mL / 20.0mL = 0.0031M Pb(NO3)2

[Pb2+] = 0.0031M

Test tube D

0.0103M Pb(NO3)2 × 4.0mL / 20.0mL = 0.0021M Pb(NO3)2

[Pb2+] = 0.0021M

Test tube E

0.0103M Pb(NO3)2 × 3.0mL / 20.0mL = 0.0015M Pb(NO3)2
