1. (Total 20 pts) Calculate a predominance diagram showing the solubility of Spertiniite - a rare Cu(II) hydroxide mineral, Cu(OH)2(s) - as a function of pH by plotting the logarithm of the concentration of each copper species against pH assuming the solution is in contact with Spertiniite. Consider only the following aqueous species: Cu²+; CuOH+; Cu(OH)2; Cu(OH)3. A. Write the reactions that form the aqueous species from Cu(OH)2(s) and the corresponding equilibrium relations. The equilibrium constants for the formation of the 4 aqueous species listed above are 108.68; K₂ = 100.98; K3 = 10–5; K4 = 10-18.2. (10 pt) B. Write the mass balance equation for the solution. (3 pt) C. Plot the total concentration of the dissolved species in a predominance diagram and indicate on the diagram the regions where the solution is oversaturated and undersaturated with Cu(II). Hint: The diagram can be drawn by hand. (7 pt) K₁ =

(Total 20 pts) Calculate a predominance diagram showing the solubility of
Spertiniite - a rare Cu(II) hydroxide mineral, Cu(OH)2(s) - as a function of pH
by plotting the logarithm of the concentration of each copper species against
pH assuming the solution is in contact with Spertiniite. Consider only the
following aqueous species: Cu²+; CuOH+; Cu(OH)2; Cu(OH)3.
A. Write the reactions that form the aqueous species from Cu(OH)2(s) and the
corresponding equilibrium relations. The equilibrium constants for the
formation of the 4 aqueous species listed above are
108.68; K₂ = 100.98; K3 = 10–5; K4 = 10-18.2. (10 pt)
B. Write the mass balance equation for the solution. (3 pt)
C. Plot the total concentration of the dissolved species in a predominance
diagram and indicate on the diagram the regions where the solution is
oversaturated and undersaturated with Cu(II). Hint: The diagram can be
drawn by hand. (7 pt)
