Using the solubility of Ca(IO3)2 that you determined in 0.01M KIO3 as a solvent, calculate the value of Ksp using only concentrations, that is assuming that all activity coefficients are 1.0. You should report 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

Dissociation of Ca(IO₃)₂ is as follows:

Ca(IO₃)₂      ⇄   Ca²⁺    +     2IO₃⁻

This implies that for every mole of  Ca(IO₃)₂  that dissolves in water' 1 mole of  Ca²⁺ is obtained and 2 moles of IO₃⁻ is obtained.

The solubility in mol/L when  Ca(IO₃)₂  is added to KIO₃ =  0.00341

Concentration of Ca²⁺ will be = 0.00341 M  ˣ 1 = 0.00341 M ( i.e equal to the solubility of Ca(IO₃)₂)

Concentration of IO₃⁻ will be = 0.00341 M  ˣ 2 = 0.00682  M

IO₃⁻ is also obtained from the dissociation of KIO₃ in water. the IO₃⁻ obtained from this process is = 0.01 M

The total concentration  of IO₃⁻ now = 0.00682  M + 0.01 M = 0.01682 M

The solubility product can be calculated by the formula:

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
