Chapter 18, Problem 33E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether 1.50 g of H₂C₂O₄can be dissolved in given solution without the forming CaC₂O₄(s) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

On comparing Q_sp and K_sp:

• If Q_{spKsp, precipitation should occur.}
• If Q_sp<<K_sp, precipitation cannot occur.
• If Q_sp = K_sp, a solution is saturated.
