I understand how to solve the questions, but in the overall question how do we know that the unknown metal compound would not be included in the Ksp expression? We are assuming that the unknown metal compounds are solid but why? And if they are solid because of solubility rules, wouldn't that mean that they would not ionize in solution? I hope this question makes sense
