Solution:
Let us first calculate [I–] to precipitate AgI and Hg2I2
Ksp[AgI] = [Ag+] [I–]
8.5
10–17 = (0.1) [I–]
[I–] to precipitate as AgI = (8.5
10-17)
Ksp(Hg22+) = [Hg2I2][I–] = 8.5
10–16 M
2.5
10–26 = 0.1 [I–]2
[I–] to precipitate Hg2I2 = 5.0
10–13 M
[I–] to precipitate AgI is smaller. Therefore, Ag I will start precipitating first. On further addition of I– more AgI will precipitate and when [I–] ³ 5.0 ´ 10–13 J, Mg2I2 will start precipitating. The maximum concentration of Ag+ at this stage will thus be calculated as:
Ksp(AgI) = [Ag+] [I–]
8.5
10–17 = [Ag+] (5.0 ´ 10–13)
or, [Ag+] = 1.7
10–4 M
Percentage of Ag + remained precipitated = [(1.7
10–4 M)/0/1]
100 = 0.17%
Thus percentage of Ag+ precipitated = 99.83%
