A solution of CuCO3 has [Cu2+] 1.5 x 10-5 M and [32-] 3.2 x 10-6 M. If CuCO3 has Ksp 2.5 x 10-10, determine whether a precipitate will form in this solution. Explain how you reached your answer.
Lancenigo di Villorba (TV), Italy COPPER(II) CARBONATE (e.g. CuCO3) is a well-known chemical responsible for greenish ores of copper. In effects, Copper Plates undergo a very slow but effctive corrosion by Rainwaters which leads to Greenish Appearance for Copper Sheets exposed to Rainwaters. COPPER(II) CARBONATE SHOWS SLIGHT SOLUBILITY IN WATER, so chemists attributed it a SOLUBILITY CONSTANT named as Ksp. That constant states that IN AQUEOUS MEDIA AND T25°C, COPPER(II) CARBONATE HAS TO GIVE A PRECIPITATED SLIME IF ITS IONs HAVE MATHEMATICAL PRODUCTORY LARGER THAN THAT Ksp. Since COPPER(II) CARBONATE tends to dissolve in water CuCO3(aq) --- Cu++(aq) + CO3--(aq) its Ksp is related to those two ionic species Ksp |Cu++| * |CO3--| Since you aren't able to overthrows that constant |Cu++| * |CO3--| 1.5E-5 * 3.2E-6 4.8E-11 Ksp 2.5E-10 then you can't see any precipitates. I hope this helps you.
