I. Objectives
1. I must learn to characterize different anions by applying the principles of chemical
equilibrium.
2. I must learn to identify the type of chemical equilibrium (eg. solubility, oxidation-reduction,
acid-base, complex formation) involved in the analysis.

2. Which among the silver precipitates were dissolved upon addition of nitric acid? Briefly rationalize for
the observed dissolution by referring to the ionization constants given and write the chemical reactions
involved.
