Question

The solubility of two slightly soluble salts of M2+ , MA
and MZ2, is the same, 4 x 10-4 mol/L. (a) Which has the
larger numerical value for the solubility product constant?
(b) In a saturated solution of each salt in water, which has
the higher concentration of M2 + ? (c) If you added an equal
volume of a solution saturated in MA to one saturated in
MZ2, what would be the equilibrium concentration of the
cation, M2 + ?
