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

is it a purebred? it looks more like a red nose, but it doesn't have the red could it be a staffordshire bull terrior? unsure if that's the right name for it sorry
