Question

Using only water and a set volume, you can predict the solubility of a salt and learn whether the reaction between two salts would result in a precipitation reaction. Click on the image to explore this simulation, which demonstrates the solubility of different salts. When you click the simulation link, you may be asked whether to run, open, or save the file. Choose to run or open it. In the simulation, you will find three tabs. The first tab demonstrates the solubility of table salt. The second tab explores other salts that are slightly soluble. The third tab enables you to design your own salt. You can add cations and anions to the beaker that contains water. Mouse over the salt shaker, and move your mouse up and down while clicking the left mouse button to add the salt to the container of water. You can also add and remove water from the container by moving the sliders on the faucets to the left of the container back and forth. Part A Go to the Slightly Soluble Salts tab. Choose the salt silver bromide from the dropdown menu to the right. Make sure that the default volume of water is 1.0×1016 L. Below the dropdown list, the ions of the salt are listed. Using the input box for the total number of ions below the silver ion column, adjust the total number of cations to 10. Using the data displayed in the table below the dropdown list, enter the chemical formula of silver bromide.

Explanation / Answer

Ag+ + Br- ====> AgBr

AgBr

Both Bromide and silver monovalent thus AgBr is the formula
