    25 mL of 1 * 10-5 M Co (NO₃) ₂ and 75 mL of 5 * 10-4 M Na₂S

    500 mL of 7.5 * 10-4 M AlCl₃ and 100 mL of 1.7 * 10-5 M Hg₂ (NO₃) ₂.

    650 mL of 0.0080 M K₂SO₄ and 175 mL of 0.15 M AgNO₃

    Explanation:

    When 2 compounds that produce an insoluble substance are mixed together, A precipitate will be formed if Q of reaction > Ksp

    For the solutions:

    1.5 L of 0.025 M BaCl₂ and 1.25L of 0.014 M Pb (NO₃) ₂.

    Ksp is:

    PbCl₂ (s) ⇄ Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

    Ksp = 2.4x10⁻⁴ = [Pb²⁺][Cl⁻]²

    Molar concentration of each ion is:

    [Pb²⁺] = 1.25L ₓ (0.014mol / L) = 0.0175mol / 2.75L = 6.36x10⁻³M

    [Cl⁻] = 2 ₓ 1.5L ₓ (0.025mol / L) = 0.075mol / 2.75L = 0.0273M

    Replacing in Ksp expression to find Q:

    Q = [6.36x10⁻³M][0.0273M]² = 4.73x10⁻⁶

    As Q < Ksp, the mixture will not produce a precipitate.

    25 mL of 1 * 10-5 M Co (NO₃) ₂ and 75 mL of 5 * 10-4 M Na₂S

    Ksp is:

    CoS (s) ⇄ Co²⁺ (aq) + S²⁻ (aq)

    Ksp = 4.0x10⁻²¹ = [Co²⁺][S²⁻]

    Molar concentration of each ion is:

    [Co²⁺] = 0.025L ₓ (1x10⁻⁵mol / L) = 2.5x10⁻⁷mol / 0.1L = 2.5x10⁻⁶M

    [S²⁻] = 0.075L ₓ (5x10⁻⁴mol / L) = 3.75x10⁻⁵mol / 0.1L = 3.75x10⁻⁴M

    Replacing in Ksp expression to find Q:

    Q = [2.5x10⁻⁶M][3.75x10⁻⁴M] = 9.38x10⁻⁶

    As Q > Ksp, the mixture will produce a precipitate.

    500 mL of 7.5 * 10-4 M AlCl₃ and 100 mL of 1.7 * 10-5 M Hg₂ (NO₃) ₂.

    Ksp is:

    Hg₂Cl₂ (s) ⇄ 2Hg⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

    Ksp = 3.5x10⁻¹⁸ = [Hg⁺]²[Cl⁻]²

    Molar concentration of each ion is:

    [Hg⁺] = 2ₓ0.100L ₓ (1.7x10⁻⁵mol / L) = 3.4x10⁻⁶mol / 0.6L = 5.67x10⁻⁶M

    [Cl⁻] = 3 ₓ 0.500L ₓ (7.5x10⁻⁴mol / L) = 1.125x10⁻³mol / 0.6L = 1.88x10⁻³M

    Replacing in Ksp expression to find Q:

    Q = [5.67x10⁻⁶M]²[1.88x10⁻³M]² = 1.14x10⁻⁶

    As Q > Ksp, the reaction will produce a precipitate.

    650 mL of 0.0080 M K₂SO₄ and 175 mL of 0.15 M AgNO₃

    Ksp is:

    Ag₂SO₄ (s) ⇄ 2Ag⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)

    Ksp = 1.5x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]²[SO₄²⁻]

    Molar concentration of each ion is:

    [Ag⁺] = 0.175L ₓ (0.15mol / L) = 0.02625mol / 0.825L = 0.0318M

    [SO₄²⁻] = 0.650L ₓ (0.080mol / L) = 0.052mol / 0.825L = 0.0630M

    Replacing in Ksp expression to find Q:

    Q = [0.0318M]²[0.0630M] = 6.37x10⁻⁵

    As Q > Ksp, the reaction will produce a precipitate.
