How to find ion concentrations at various points in a solution that will precipitate multiple insoluble salts?
The solubility product constant of lead (II) iodide is $1.2 \times 10^{-5}$ at 273 K.
The solubility product constant for lead (II) carbonate is $1.5 \times 10^{-13}$ at the same temperature.
50 ...

Finding dissolved amount of base from pH and solubility product
Calculate the amount of $\ce{Mg(OH)2}$ which is solubilized in $\pu{1.25 L}$ of a buffered solution at $\mathrm{pH} = 9.5$. $(K_\mathrm{sp}(\ce{Mg(OH)2}) = \pu{5.61E-12})$.
From $\mathrm{pH}$ I ...

Acid dissociation constant calculated from the ionization percentage
The question goes like this:
An acid (HX) is 25% dissociated in water. If the equilibrium concentration of HX is $\pu{0.30 M}$, calculate the value of $K_\mathrm{a}$.
So I tried as follows:
if I ...

Relation between standard silver-silver chloride electrode potential and solubility product of silver chloride
I learned that $E^\circ_\ce{Cl^-|Ag,AgCl}, E^\circ_\ce{Ag^+|Ag}$ and $K_\mathrm{sp}$ of $\ce{AgCl}$ are related as
$$\boxed{E^\circ_\ce{Cl^-|Ag,AgCl} = E^\circ_\ce{Ag^+|Ag} + \frac{RT}{F}\ln K_\mathrm{...

Numerically solving chemical equilibrium equations
Here are chemical equilibrium equations:
$\begin{cases}
\mathbf{N}^\text{T}\mathbf{X}+\mathbf{C}=\mathbf{Y}\\
\mathbf{N}\ln\mathbf{Y}=\ln\mathbf{K}
\end{cases}$
Here $\mathbf{C}=\begin{pmatrix}c_1\\...

Calculating pH of aqueous ammonium hydrogen sulfide solution
I was doing the following question yesterday:
Calculate the pH of a $\pu{0.1 M}$ solution of $\ce{NH4HS}$, given $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{b}$ of $\ce{NH3}$ is $4.74$, and $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{a1}$ and $\...

How are acids in aqueous solution able to react again after reacting with water?
I hope to clear up some confusion I have about acid-base reactions in aqueous solution.
Based on the Bronsted-Lowry definition of acids, I know acids donate protons. In water, a strong acid should ...
