Sodium chloride is added slowly to a solution that is 0.010 M in Cu+, Ag+, and Au+. The Ksp values for the chloride salts are 1.9 x 10^-7, 1,6 x 10^-10, and 2.0 x 10^-13, respectively. Which compound will precipitate first?

If 30 mL of 5.0 x 10^-4 M Ca(NO₃)₂ are added to 70 mL of 2.0 x 10^-4 M NaF, will a precipitate occur? (Ksp of CaF₂ = 4.0 x 10^–11)

• No, because the ion product (Qsp) is greater than Ksp.

• Yes, because the ion product (Qsp) is less than Ksp.

• No, because the ion product (Qsp) is less than Ksp

• Yes, because the ion product is (Qsp) greater than Ksp.
