Question

A 1 L solution contains 0.25 M Ni(NO3)2 and 0.25 M Cu(NO3)2.

A. Can the metal ions be separated by slowly adding Na2CO3? Assume that for successful separation 99% of the metal ion must be precipitated before the other metal ion begins to precipitate, and assume no volume change on addition of Na2CO3

Ksp of CuCO3 = 1.4 x10-10
Ksp of NiCO3 = 1.42X 10-7

B. What would be the Molarity of Na2CO3 you will use in A , so that assumption of no volume change on addition of Na2CO3 will be valid ? 

please answer only B.
