Determining whether precipitation will occur or not and finding the concentration of a specific ion in a solution
The Ksp value of AY2 = 9.148 x 10^-2. I am having problem with calculating the concentration of ions. And without the correct concentration I can't find the Qsp/Kip so I'm stuck without them I can't ...

Would a container made of sugar eventually dissolve if filled with a sugar-saturated solution of water?
Suppose you had a bottle made of sugar glass, and filled it with water that was already saturated with sugar.
I know that with a fully saturated solution of sugar in water, no additional sugar can ...

Why does CaSO4 break up when adding HCl but not BaSO4?
I observed in a solution with CaSO4 that the white precipitate dissolved when I added concentrated hydro chloric acid (37%). I assume CaSO4 had a divorce and Ca decided to hook up with two Cl- ions, ...

Why does the reaction between copper(II) ion and iodide ion proceed even though the E_cell of the set up is negative?
(iii) Another example of a reaction that does not agree with the theoretical prediction is the reaction between $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ and $\mathrm{I}^{-}$ according to the equation below.
$$
2 \mathrm{Cu}...

Ambiguity in the direction of dissolution equilibrium
The following reaction is usually carried out to test for the carbonate anion in an inorganic salt;
$$\ce{CO3^2- +BaCl2/CaCl2 -> BaCO3/CaCO3(s) + 2 Cl-}$$
The resulting carbonate is stated to be an ...

Is there a name, or any specific jargon for a precipitation equilibrium involving a solid reactant?
Let's say you have some ions in solution, for example Na+(aq) and OH-(aq), and some partially dissolved solid, MgCO3(s), Mg+2(aq) and CO3-2(aq), which precipitates Mg(OH)2(s) until equilibrium.
So ...

Is chromate a suitable indicator for the titration of Ag⁺ with Cl⁻?
To titrate $\ce{Cl-}$ with $\ce{Ag+}$ we use chromate $\ce{CrO4^2-}$ as an indicator.
The titration reaction is:
$$\ce{Ag+ + Cl- <=> AgCl}\tag{R1}$$
$$K_1 = \frac{1}{K_\mathrm{sp}(\ce{AgCl})} =...
