Selective Ion Separation by Precipitation
Description
Selective ion separation by precipitation is used to isolate ions from a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent can be separated by using differences in their solubility products. A solubility product is the limit at which an ionic solid begins to form...

Transcript
Precipitation and coprecipitation techniques can be applied to separate a mixture of ions.
When different ions form sparingly soluble salts with the same reagent, they can be separated by precipitation if their solubility products differ significantly.
In an acidic solution of hydrogen sulfide, the product of copper and sulfide ion...
