Question

What is the solubility of Al(OH)3, (Ksp = 1 × 10-33) in a buffer solution pH = 4 ?

Options

A.10-3 M
B.10-6 M
C.10-4 M
D.10-10 M

Solution

pH = 4      ⇒   [H+] = 10-4 M  ⇒   [OH-] = 10-10 M
Al (OH)3  ⇋  Al+3  +  3OH-
Ksp (Al (OH)3) = [Al+3]  [OH-]3
[Al3+] [OH-]3 = 1 × 10-33
[Al3+] (10-10)3 = 1 × 10-33   ⇒   [Al+3] = 10-3 M
