Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

 

Ionic product (KIP) expression for Zn(OH)2 is 

                       Zn(OH)2  -->  Zn+2   +  2 OH- 

             KIP = [Zn+2] [OH-]2 

if KIP < Ksp  ,unsaturated and no precipitate is formed 

  KIP = Ksp  , saturated and no precipitate is formed 

  KIP > Ksp  , Unsaturated and  precipitate is formed
