Solubility of Zinc Carbonate in Various Solutions - Video Solution
Consider the salt zinc carbonate (Ksp = 1.0×10-10) and the knowledge that zinc(II) forms the soluble ammonia complex ion Zn(NH3)42+ (Ksp = 7.8×108). Of the aqueous solutions, 0.20 M NH3, 0.30 M Na2CO3, pure water, and water with a pH buffered at 5.0, in which would the zinc carbonate be most soluble and in which the least soluble?
