Question

A solution contains a mixture of Ag+ (0-1 M) and Hg2+ (0.1 M) which are
to be separated by selective precipitation. Calculate the maximum concentration
iodide ion at which one of them gets precipitated almost completely. What
percentage of that metal ion is precipitated?
(Ksp (Agl) = 8.5 x 10-17)
{Ksp (Hg212) = 2.5 x 10-26}​

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of Ag+ precipitated = 99.83%

Answer 2

Answer:

Percentage of Ag+ would be nearly 99.8%
