Question

7. Consider zinc hydroxide, Zn(OH)2, where Ksp = 3 x 10^-17. A. Determine the solubility of zinc hydroxide in pure water. B. How does the solubility of zinc hydroxide in pure water compare with that in a solution buffered at pH 6.00? Quantitatively demonstrate the difference (if any) in solubility. Is zinc hydroxide more or less soluble at pH 6.00? C. If enough base is added, the OH- ligand can coordinately bind with the Zn+2 ion to form the soluble zincate ion, [Zn(OH)4]2-2. The formation constant, Kf, of the full complex ion [Zn(OH)4]-2 can be calculated from the following successive equilibrium expressions shown: Determine the value of Kf for the zincate ion.
