Copper(II) iodate precipitates from iodate solution. The formula of the precipitate is CU(IO3)2. A saturated solution of this substance was made in 0.01 M KLO3. The copper concentration was found to be 0.0013 M. Determine the [IO3-] and Ksp of the substance.

1 answer

Ksp = (Cu^+2)(IO3^-)
(Cu^+2) = 0.0013
(IO3^-) = 0.01
(0.0013)(0.01)^2 = ??
The Internet shows Ksp = 1.4 x 10^-7. Your result is quite good.
