Consider the insoluble compound zinc sulfide, ZnS. The zinc ion also forms a complex with hydroxide ions. Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of ZnS (s) increases in the presence of hydroxide ions and calculate the equilibrium constant for this reaction. For Zn(OH)4²-, Kf = 2.9x1015. Be sure to specify states such as (aq) or (s). K= + +
