Question

When treated with excess of silver nitrate, which of the following three solutions will yield the largest mass of silve halide precipitate per liter of solution? c ha narrect answer helow: Select the correct answer below: O one molar solution of KCI O one molar solution of KBr O one molar solution of KI O All three solutions will yield the same mass of precipitate.

Answer 1

The one molar solution of KI will yield the largest mass of silver halide precipitate per liter of solution when treated with an excess of silver nitrate.

Step-by-step explanation:

When treated with an excess of silver nitrate, the solution that will yield the largest mass of silver halide precipitate per liter of solution is the one molar solution of KI. This is because the solubility product constant (Ksp) for silver iodide (AgI) is much smaller than the Ksp values for silver chloride (AgCl) and silver bromide (AgBr). As a result, more AgI will precipitate compared to AgCl and AgBr when excess silver nitrate is added to the solution.
