The solubility of calcium oxalate, CaC2O4, in pure water is 4.8 × 10‑5 moles per liter. Cal­culate the value of Ksp for silver carbonate from this data.

2.3 × 10⁻⁹

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of calcium oxalate

CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product constant (Ksp) through an ICE chart.

        CaC₂O₄(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

I                                0                 0

C                              +S               +S

E                                S                 S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] × [C₂O₄²⁻] = S² = (4.8 × 10⁻⁵)² = 2.3 × 10⁻⁹

when atmosphere interacts with biosphere they focuses on on the sources and sinks of green house gases (ghgs) air pollutants, particular matters, water and energy between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. the biosphere affects the climate. the atmosphere and biosphere are in constant interaction with each other, and all living things rely on gases in the atmosphere for life. organisms such as animals take in oxygen gas form the atmosphere to use in every cell of their body for smooth functioning of daily routine exercises.

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
