The solubility-product constant for Zn(OH)2 is Ksp=3.00×10−16.
The formation constant for the hydroxo complex, Zn(OH)42−, is Kf=4.60×1017.
A solubility-product constant, Ksp, corresponds to a reaction with the following general format:
salt(s)⇌cation(aq)+anion(aq)
A formation constant, Kf, corresponds to a reaction with the following general format:
metal ion(aq)+Lewis base(aq)⇌complex ion(aq)
