Question

The generic metal hydroxide M(OH)2M(OH)2 has KspKspK_sp = 8.05×10−12.  (NOTE:  In this particular problem, because of the magnitude of  the KspKsp and the stoichiometry of the compound, the contribution of  OH−OH− from water can be ignored.  However, this may not always be the case.)

Part A) What is the solubility of M(OH)2M(OH)2 in pure water?  

Part B) What is the solubility of M(OH)2M(OH)2 in a 0.202 MM solution of M(NO3)2M(NO3)2?
