Which technique is most suitable for separating a mixture of two solids, one of which is soluble in ethanol and the othe

Crystallization uses differential solubility (e.g., ethanol) to dissolve one solid and recrystallize it, leaving the insoluble one behind, ideal when melting points are irrelevant.

Which purification method would fail to separate a mixture of two organic solids with identical sublimation temperatures

Sublimation relies on sublimation temperature differences, ineffective here. Crystallization or extraction using water solubility would work instead.

For Hg₂Cl₂(s) Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) , Ksp = 1.3 × 10⁻¹⁸ . What is [Hg₂²⁺] in a 0.01 M NaCl solution?

Ksp = [Hg₂²⁺][Cl-]² = 1.3 × 10⁻¹⁸ , [Cl-] ≈ 0.01 , [Hg₂²⁺] (0.01)² = 1.3 × 10⁻¹⁸ , [Hg₂²⁺] = (1.3 × 10⁻¹⁸/0.0001) = 1.3 × 10⁻¹⁴ M .

For BaF₂(s) Ba²⁺(aq) + 2F-(aq) , Ksp = 1.7 × 10⁻⁶ . In a 0.01 M NaF solution, what is [Ba²⁺] in a saturated solution?

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][F-]² = 1.7 × 10⁻⁶ . [F-] = 0.01 + 2[Ba²⁺] ≈ 0.01 M (since [Ba²⁺ is small). [Ba²⁺] (0.01)² = 1.7 × 10⁻⁶ , [Ba²⁺] = (1.7 × 10⁻⁶/0.0001) = 1.7 × 10⁻² M .
