Find the concentration of Ca2+ and IO-3 in a saturated Ca(IO3)2 solution prepared by adding Ca(IO3)2 to a 0.015 M solution of KIO3. Ksp of Ca(IO3)2(s) is 4.4x10-7M3.
Ca(IO3)2 -------------> Ca^+2 + 2IO3^-1
x 2x
+0.015
x 2x+0.015
KSp = [Ca^+2][IO3^-]^2
4.4*10^-7 = x*(2x+0.015)^2
x = 0.00139
[Ca^+2] = x = 0.00139M
[IO3^-] = 2x+0.015
=0.01778M
