Question:medium

Equal volumes of 0.002 M solutions of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed. Will it lead to the precipitation of copper iodate? (For cupric iodate Ksp = 7.4 × 10–8).

Solution and Explanation

Cu^{2+} = ce{IO3-} = {0.002}{2} = 0.001  M

Ion Product

 Q = Cu^{2+}  ce{IO3-}^2 = 10^{-3} * 10^{-3})^2 = 1.0 * 10^{-9} \)

Ksp = 7.4 * 10^{-8} 

Q < Ksp → No precipitation
