pH from Ksp and concentration
« on: September 19, 2009, 08:23:52 PM »
I'm stuck on this question, any help appreciated.
The Ksp for M(OH)3 is 5.2 x 10-31. At what pH will a 0.2 M solution of M(NO3)3 begin to show precipitation of M(OH)3?
I've written it in a few forms (below) and tried many ways using ice tables etc but I can't seem to get to an answer,
2M(NO3)3 + 6H20 <-> 2M(OH)3 +M3+ + 6NO3-
M(NO3)3 <-> M3+ + 3NO3-
M(OH)3 <-> M3+ + 3OH-

Write formula for Ksp.
