A common "critical thinking" question in POGILs asks how much of the first ion remains in the solution when the second ion just begins to precipitate. To find this, take the required for the second ion ( from the example above) and plug it back into the Kspcap K sub s p end-sub expression for the first ion:
Zn(NO3)2+Na2CO3→ZnCO3(s)+2NaNO3cap Z n open paren cap N cap O sub 3 close paren sub 2 plus cap N a sub 2 cap C cap O sub 3 right arrow cap Z n cap C cap O sub 3 open paren s close paren plus 2 cap N a cap N cap O sub 3 To find when a specific ion starts to precipitate, use: Separation Efficiency fractional precipitation pogil answer key best
