(a) 20.0 cm 3 of 0.010 mol dm −3 KCl(aq) was accidentally mixed with 20.0 cm 3 of 0.010 mol dm−3 Na2CO3(aq). To separate the chloride and carbonate ions, solid AgNO 3 was added to the mixture to precipitate the maximum amount of AgCl without precipitating Ag2CO3. [Ksp of AgCl = 2.0  10−10 mol2 dm–6, Ksp of Ag2CO3 = 8.1  10−12 mol3 dm−9 at 25 C] (i) Determine the concentration of Ag+ ions just before precipitation of Ag2CO3. Hence, calculate the concentration of chloride ions remaining in the final solution. [3] (ii) The separation of ions is considered effective if more than 98% of the chloride ions have been precipitated before the precipitation of Ag2CO3. Using your answer to (a)(i), determine whether effective separation has been achieved.
