What is the molar solubility of Fe(OH)3 in a solution thatvis buffered at pH 2.50

Expert Answer

Answer

pH = 2.50

pOH = 14-pH = 14-2.50 = 11.5

pOH = -log[OH–]

[OH–] = antilog(-pOH)

= antilog(-11.5)

[OH–] = 3.16*10-12M

Let the solubility be S moles/L

Fe(OH)3 <—> Fe3+ + 3OH–

Ksp = [Fe3+][OH–]3

6.3*10-38 = S*(3.16*10-12)3

S = 6.3*10-38 / 31.55*10-36

S = 1.99*10-3mol/L = 2.0*10-3mol/L
