A buffer solution is 0.25 M−CH3COOH+0.15 M−CH3COONa,0.25 \mathrm{~M}-\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}+0.15 \mathrm{~M}-\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}, saturated in H2S(0.1 M)\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{S}(0.1 \mathrm{~M}) and has [Mn2+]=0.04 M,Ka(CH3COOH)=2.0×10−5,\left[\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\right]=0.04 \mathrm{~M}, K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\right)=2.0 \times 10^{-5}, Ka(H2S)=1.0×10−21K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{S}\right)=1.0 \times 10^{-21} and Ksp(MnS)=2.5×10−13.K_{\mathrm{sp}}(\mathrm{MnS})=2.5 \times 10^{-13}.
Which buffer component should be increased in concentration and to which minimum value to just start precipitation of MnS?\mathrm{MnS}?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
CH3COONa,1.25 M\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}, 1.25 \mathrm{~M}
Option C (CH3COONa,1.25 M\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}, 1.25 \mathrm{~M}) is correct because increasing the concentration of CH3COONa shifts the equilibrium to reduce the sulfide ion concentration, preventing MnS precipitation until a certain concentration is reached.
