A homogeneous solution contains copper(II) ions (Cu2+), silver ions (Ag+) and potassium ions (K+).  You have sodium bromide (NaBr) and sodium sulfide (Na2S) available to use.  What should you add and in what order to separate the three metal ions?

When decays in part of the uranium decay series, there are two pathways, one of alpha emission and one of beta emission.  When emits a beta particle, what is the product?

A mixture is made of 100.0 mL of water and 1.0 g of silver chloride, AgCl.  What does this solution look like and what mass of silver chloride is in solution?  The molar solubility of AgCl is 1.3×10–5 and the molar mass is 143.32 g∙mol–1.

Two chromate salts, barium chromate (BaCrO4) and silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) are considered for solubility.  The solubility product constant, Ksp, of BaCrO4 is 8.5×10–11 and Ag2CrO4 is 9.0×10–12.  Which salt is more soluble in water and why?
