**Question 15**

A solution contains 0.25 M Cd²⁺ ions. At what pH will Cd(OH)₂ begin to precipitate?

- ○ 6.66
- ○ 0.68
- ○ 7.34
- ○ 13.32

*Note: The question involves determining the pH level at which cadmium hydroxide, Cd(OH)₂, starts to precipitate from a solution containing cadmium ions, Cd²⁺, at a concentration of 0.25 M. Knowledge of the solubility product constant (Ksp) for Cd(OH)₂ is needed to calculate the precise pH at which precipitation begins.*

**Solubility Product Constants (25°C)**

| Compound (s) | \( K_{sp} \)          |
|--------------|-----------------------|
| BaF\(_2\)    | 2.4 x 10\(^{-5}\)     |
| CuCl(s)      | 1.9 x 10\(^{-7}\)     |
| PbF\(_2\)    | 4.0 x 10\(^{-8}\)     |
| AgCl(s)      | 1.6 x 10\(^{-10}\)    |
| FeCO\(_3\)   | 2.1 x 10\(^{-11}\)    |
| Mn(OH)\(_2\) | 2.0 x 10\(^{-13}\)    |
| AuCl(s)      | 2.0 x 10\(^{-13}\)    |
| Cd(OH)\(_2\) | 1.2 x 10\(^{-14}\)    |

This table presents the solubility product constants (\( K_{sp} \)) for various compounds at 25°C. The \( K_{sp} \) value indicates the extent to which a compound will dissolve in water. Lower \( K_{sp} \) values signify lower solubility, while higher \( K_{sp} \) values indicate higher solubility.
