Question
- The maximum amount of calcium fluoride that will dissolve in a 0.152 M calcium nitrate solution is ______ M.
- The photo attached is an example of how to solve a similar problem
![The maximum amount of silver carbonate that will dissolve in a 0.125 M ammonium carbonate
solution is
x M.
Incorrect
(NH4)2CO3 is a soluble salt, Ag,CO3 is not.
The solubility of Ag2CO3 in pure water is 1.3×10-4 M. The amount of silver carbonate that can
dissolve in a solution of ammonium carbonate is less than in plain water, because there is already
carbonate ion present in the solution. This is known as the "Common Ion Effect".
Initial [CO3?-] = 0.125 M from the (NH4)2CO3 solution.
Step 1: Set up the equilibrium using the ICE method
Let 's'= number of moles of Ag2CO3 (s) per liter that dissolves.

Step 3: Assume that s is small relative to 0.125 M, so that the approximation 0.125 + s. 0.125 can
be made. This is reasonable because the solubility is low without the common ion and it will be even
lower in the presense of added CO3²-. Then:
Ksp = (2s)2(0.125) = 8.1×10-12

Step 4: Solve for s
