1.(27)
The only solution in which HNO2 will ionize less is (d) 0.10 M NaNO2. It is the
only solution that generates a common ion NO2− with nitrous acid.
2.(31) = 2.1%, = 0.065 %

3.(41) a = 3.86 b.= 9.65

4.(47) a = 4.74 b = 4.67 c = 4.81

5.(53) a. yes b. No c.yes d.No e.yes

6.(58) 0.18 g NH3/g NH4Cl

7.(85) a. Ksp = [Ba2+ [ SO4 2-] ; b.Ksp = [Pb2+] [Br-]2 ; c. Ksp = [Ag+ ]2 [CrO42-]

8. (87) a. 7.31x10-7M b. = 3.72 x10-5M c. 3.32 x10-4M

9. (89) a. 1.07 x 10 -21 b. 7.14 x 10 -7 c. 7.44 x 10 -11

10.(101) Q = 2.3 x 10-6; Ksp for CaF2 is = 1.4 x 10-10

Ksp < Q Therefore precipitation occurs. The precipitate is CaF 2

11.(102) Q = 6.0 x 10-7 ;Ksp for PbBr2 is = 4.67 x 10-6

Ksp > Q Therefore no precipitation occurs
