7.69 Equal volumes of 0.002 M solutions of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed together. Will it lead to precipitation of copper iodate? (For cupric iodate Ksp = 7.4 × 10-8 ).
We have,
solubility product () of cupric iodate =
When equal volumes of sodium iodate and cupric chlorate are mixed together the molar concentration of both the solution becomes half (= 0.001)
Ionization of cupric iodate is;
0.001 M 0.001 M
So, can be calculated as;
Sinc eionic product is less than the so no precipitation occurs.
