Expert Solution
Step 1
Since the solution is having M(NO3)2 which has M2+ ion
Hence the concentration of M2+ ion = [ M2+ ] = concentration of M(NO3)2 = 0.0025 M
Because we have 1 M in 1 M(NO3)2
And since the solubility reaction of MCl2 is
=> MCl2 (s) -------> M2+ (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq)
Hence Ksp = [ M2+ ] X [Cl-]2
Hence substituting the values we get
1.5 X 10-7 = 0.0025 X [Cl-]2
=> [Cl-]= concentration of Cl- ion required for precipitation = 7.75 X 10-3 M
