At 22 °C an excess amount of a generic metal hydroxide M(OH)2, is mixed with pure water. The resulting equilibrium solution has a pH of 10.49. What is the Ksp of the salt at 22 °C?

Is the ksp=1.38*10^-11?

2 answers

M(OH)2---> M^+ + 2OH

14-pH=pOH

14-10.49=3.51

pOH=-log[OH]

10^(-3.51)=OH concentration

OH concentration is twice as much as M from the reaction.

Ksp=products/reactants=[OH Concentration]^2[OH concentration/2]

I calculate 1.48 x 10^-11
I agree with 1.48E-11
