Co(OH)3 [eq] Co3++3OH-
let the solubility be S
[Co3+]=S
As the solution is buffered and pH=8
so [OH-]10-6
Ksp=[Co3+][OH-]3=S(10-6)3
implies S=1.6*10-44/10-18 = 1.6*10-24
The solublity product constant for Co(OH)3 is 1.6*10-44.What is the solublity of Co(OH)3 in a soluiton buffered at pH=8
Co(OH)3 [eq] Co3++3OH-
let the solubility be S
[Co3+]=S
As the solution is buffered and pH=8
so [OH-]10-6
Ksp=[Co3+][OH-]3=S(10-6)3
implies S=1.6*10-44/10-18 = 1.6*10-24
sorry yaar.....answer is 1.6*10-26...........hope u can find the mistake and correct it............
dude there is just that slight mistake..
see the reply properly kumar has made a slight mistake in the last step :)
I hope u are reading the solutions as well and not just the final answer [3]
not like that..............coincidently i was also making mistake in final step............
