QUESTION 12
Consider the following partially soluble compound in water.
Sc(OH)3(s) = Sc³+ (aq) + 3OH-(aq) K =8.0×10-31
S = 1.3×10-8
in pure water.
sp
However, what is the solubility of Sc(OH) 3 in a pH=10 solution?
Hint: The high pH means OH from a second source → common ion effect.
Os = 8.0×10-19
S=8.0×10-27
S=8.0×10-15
Os = 3.0×10-8
