Question
### Solubility and Precipitation of Cobalt Hydroxide

The \( K_{sp} \) for \( \text{Co(OH)}_2 \) at 25°C is \( 2.5 \times 10^{-16} \).

#### a. Molar Solubility in Water
- **Problem**: Determine the molar solubility of \( \text{Co(OH)}_2 \) in water.

#### b. Molar Solubility in Cobalt Nitrate
- **Problem**: Calculate the molar solubility of \( \text{Co(OH)}_2 \) in \( 0.150 \, M \text{ Co(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \).

#### c. Overall Reaction and \( K_{\text{overall}} \)
- **Problem**: Write the overall reaction and compute \( K_{\text{overall}} \) for the dissolution of \( \text{Co(OH)}_2 \) in HCl.

#### d. Precipitation with Cobalt Chloride and Sodium Hydroxide
- **Problem**: If 5.0 mL of \( 0.00033 \, M \) cobalt chloride (\( \text{CoCl}_2 \)) is mixed with 80.0 mL of \( 2.5 \times 10^{-8} \, M \) NaOH, determine if a precipitate will form.
