A basic solution contains the iodide and phosphate ions that are to be separated via selective precipitation. The I^- concentration is 9.00 times 10^-5 M and the PO^3-_4 ion concentration is 0.900 M.A solution containing the silver(l) ion is slowly added. Answer the questions below. K_sp of Agl is 8.30 times 10^-17 and of Ag_3PO_4, 8.90 times 10^-17. Calculate the minimum Ag^+ concentration required to cause precipitation of Agl. mo/L Calculate the minimum Ag^+ concentration required to cause precipitation of Ag_3PO_4. mo/L Which salt will precipitate first? Choose one: Agl Ag_3PO_4 Cannot be determined
