Question
A solution containing CaCl2 is mixed with a solution of Li2C204 to
form a solution that is 3.5 × 10-4 M in calcium ion and 2.33 × 10-4 M
in oxalate ion. What will happen once these solutions are mixed? Ksp
(CaC204) = 2.3 × 10-9.
A precipitate will form as calcium oxalate is not soluble to any extent.
A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate.
Nothing will happen since both calcium chloride and lithium oxalate are
soluble compounds.
Nothing will happen Ksp > Q for all possible precipitants.
There is not enough information to determine.
