What is the equilibrium Mg2+
concentration when 1.75 L of a
0.153 M magnesium acetate
solution are mixed with 1.69 L of a
0.292 M ammonium carbonate
solution?
[Mg2+] =
concentration of Mg(CH3COO)2 = 1.75 x 0.153 / (1.75 + 1.69)
= 0.0778 M
concentration of (NH4)2CO3 = 1.69 x 0.292 / (1.69 + 1.75)
= 0.143 M
Mg+2 + CO32- ----------------> MgCO3

0.0778 0.143
MgCO3 ----------------> Mg+2 + CO32-
Ksp = [Mg+2][CO32-]
6.82 x 10^-6 = [Mg+2] [0.0652]
[Mg+2] = 1.05 x 10^-4 M
