Calculate the Ion Product Value, Q sp, for MgCO3 When

Question 194

Multiple Choice

Calculate the ion product value, Q sp, for MgCO3 when a 7.0×10 - 5 M aqueous solution of Mg(NO3) 2 is mixed with a 5.0×10 - 4 M aqueous solution of Na2CO3. If the solubility product constant, K sp, for MgCO3 is 3.5×10 - 8, which statement below is true?


A) Q sp < K sp and a precipitate of MgCO3 will form.
B) Q sp > K sp and a precipitate of MgCO3 will form.
C) Q sp = K sp and a saturated solution of MgCO3 forms.
D) Q sp < K sp and a precipitate of MgCO3 does not form.
E) Q sp > K sp and a precipitate of MgCO3 does not form.
