CHEM 24112 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Copper(Ii) Chloride, Barium Chloride, Barium Sulfide
Homework 7.1: Precipitation Reactions
1. What is a “driving force”? What are some of the driving forces discussed in this section that tend to
make reactions likely to occur? Can you think of any other possible driving forces?
2. When two solutions of ionic substances are mixed and a precipitate forms, what is the net charge of
the precipitate? Why?
3. Describe briefly what happens when an ionic substance is dissolved in water.
4. When aqueous solutions of sodium chloride, NaCl, and silver nitrate, AgNO3, are mixed, a
precipitate forms, but this precipitate is not sodium nitrate. What does this reaction tell you about the
solubility of NaNO3 in water?
5. On the basis of the general solubility rules, predict which of the following substances would not be
expected to be appreciably soluble in water.
a. manganese (II) chloride
b. lead (II) sulfide
c. iron (III) hydroxide
d. potassium fluoride
e. magnesium sulfate
f. iron (II) sulfide
g. potassium carbonate
h. calcium carbonate
