Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar solubility of chromium (III) hydroxide in the buffer solution is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ions in which the central metal atom is bonded to the ligands are known as complex ions. Mainly, transition metals have the tendency to form complex ions.

If the value of the formation constant for a complex ion is large, then the ion is more stable. The formation constant $\left(K_f\right)$ is also known as the stability constant.

At a given temperature, the product of the molar concentrations of the ions of the salt present in a solution is known as the solubility product of that salt. It is represented by $K_{sp}$.
