EFFECT OF ELECTROLYTES ON CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA
H3AsO4 + 3I- + 2H+ H3AsO3 + I3- + H2O The position of most solution equilibria depends on the electrolyte concentration of the medium, even when the added electrolyte contains no ion in common with those involved in the equilibrium. KI KCl H3AsO4 + 3I- + 2H+ H3AsO3 + I3- + H2O slides 35 slides

Chemical Equilibrium Electrolyte Effects
Electrolytes: producing ions 1-Common 2-no common Can electrolytes affect chemicalequilibria? (A) “Common Ion Effect” Decreases solubility of BaSO4 with BaCl2 Ba2+ is the “common ion” slides

The Salt Effect Adding an “inert” salt to a sparingly soluble salt increases the solubility of the sparingly soluble salt. “inert” salt = a salt whose ions do not react with (e.g., chelate, or precipitate) the compound of interest slides 35 slides

How? Consider: BaSO4 Ba2+ + SO42-
NO3- Na+ Consider: BaSO4 Ba2+ + SO42- BaSO4 (Ksp = 1.1x10-10) as the sparingly soluble salt and NaNO3 → Na+ + NO3- as the “inert” salt. The cation (Ba2+) is surrounded by anions (SO42-, NO3-) net positive charge is reduced The anion (SO42-) is surrounded by cations (Ba2+, Na+) net negative charge is reduced attraction between oppositely charged ions (Ba2+, SO42-) is decreased Solubility is increased slides 35 slides

Concentration v.s. Activity
For many substances the active mass per unit volume is directly proportional to the concentration. ai≈Ci ...but the approximation of activity being equal to concentration will not accurately reflect the actual behavior of matter under all conditions. ai=Ci :is a reasonably valid approximation for an u< 10-2 M Only an approximation of the equilibrium condition. slides 35 slides

Calculation of Activity Coefficients
Requires the Debye-Hückel equation: z is the charge of the ion a is the effective hydrated radius of the ion (in nm) m is the ionic strength of the solution (Valid at 25°C for 0.1M) slides 35 slides

Activity Coefficients
Z,α→ g approaches 1 in very dilute solution at which approaches 0. The effect of on is greater for larger z and small . Note that if m >0.1 M it is necessary to experimentally determine g, otherwise use referenceTable as an approximation slides 35 slides
22
As ionic strength increases, the activity coefficient decreases.
→ 0 1 As the charge of the ion increases, the departure of its activity coefficient from unity increases. Activity corrections are much more important for an ion with a charge of 3 than one with the charge 1.
