Above what Fe? concentration will Fe(OH)a precipitate from a buffer solution that has a pH of 8.32? The Ksp of Fe(OH)2 is 4.8710 Number 1.223x 105 M Solution use: pH = -log [H+] 8.32 = -log [H+] [H+] = 4.786*10^-9 M use: [OH-] = Kw/[H+] Kw is dissociation constant of water whose value is 1.0*10^-14 at 25 oC [OH-] = (1.0*10^-14)/[H+] [OH-] = (1.0*10^-14)/(4.786*10^-9) [OH-] = 2.089*10^-6 M At equilibrium: Fe(OH)2 <----> Fe2+ + 2 OH- s 2.089*10^-6 Ksp = [Fe2+][OH-]^2 4.87*10^-17=(s)*(2.089*10^-6)^2 4.87*10^-17= (s) * 4.364*10^-12 s = 1.12*10^-5 M Answer: 1.12*10^-5 M .
