1) The hydroxide ion concentration of a saturated solution of Fe(OH)2 is 1.6X10^-5M. What is the solubility product constant for Fe(OH)2?
2)What is the Kb for the following equilibrium? Ka for HNO2 is 5.0X10^-4.; No2- + H2O --> HNO2 + OH-
1)
[OH-] = 1.6 x 10^-5 M
Fe(OH)2 <-----------------------> Fe+2 + 2OH-
0.8 x 10^-5 1.6 x 10^-5 M
Ksp = [Fe+2][OH-]^2
Ksp = (8 x 10^-6 ) (1.6 x 10^-5)^2
Ksp = 2.05 x 10^-15
solubility product constant = Ksp = 2.05 x 10^-15
2)
Ka = 5.0 x 10^-4
Kb = Kw / Ka
Kb = 1.0 x 10^-14 / 5.0 x 10^-4
Kb = 2.0 x 10^-11
