Cd(OH)2 is an insoluble salt with Ksp= 2.0×10–14. a.Calculate the minimum concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–) required to start precipitating a 0.10 M solution of Cd2+ ions as Cd(OH)2. b.A solution contains 0.10 M Cd2+ and 0.10 M NH3. What should be the concentration of NH4+ added to prevent the precipitation of Cd(OH)2? Assume that volume of the solution remains unchanged. The Kb of NH3 is 1.8×10–5.
