1. Given the following equilibrium constants, calculate the solubility (moles/L) of Ni(OH)2(s) in a solution that has a fixed [OH-] of 3.2x10-7M Ni(OH)2(s)Ksp = 6x10-16 NiOH+(aq)β1 = 1x104 • Ni(OH)2(aq) β2 = 1x109 • Ni(OH)3-(aq) β3 = 1x1012 • Ni4(OH)44+(aq) β3 = 2x1028 The solubility of Ni(OH)2 is 5.9x10-3 M. Notice that this answer is dominated by the concentration of Ni2+ ion, which means that the common ion effect has the biggest influence on the solubility at this concentration of OH-and complex ion formation has no influence on the solubility. How high does the OH- concentration have to be before complex ion formation becomes important?
