The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine which hydroxide salt, \( M(OH)_2 \) or \( M(OH)_3 \), will precipitate first when adding \( Zn(OH)_2 \) to a solution containing \( 0.1 \, M \, M^{2+} \) and \( 0.1 \, M \, M^{3+} \). We will use the solubility product constants (\( K_{sp} \)) provided for both salts to find the concentration of hydroxide ions (\( OH^- \)) required for precipitation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the \( K_{sp} \) Values:** - For \( M(OH)_2 \): \( K_{sp} = 4 \times 10^{-21} \) - For \( M(OH)_3 \): \( K_{sp} = 9 \times 10^{-24} \) 2. **Write the Dissociation Equations:** - For \( M(OH)_2 \): \[ M(OH)_2 \rightleftharpoons M^{2+} + 2OH^- \] The expression for \( K_{sp} \) is: \[ K_{sp} = [M^{2+}][OH^-]^2 \] - For \( M(OH)_3 \): \[ M(OH)_3 \rightleftharpoons M^{3+} + 3OH^- \] The expression for \( K_{sp} \) is: \[ K_{sp} = [M^{3+}][OH^-]^3 \] 3. **Calculate \( [OH^-] \) for \( M(OH)_2 \):** - Given \( [M^{2+}] = 0.1 \, M \): \[ K_{sp} = [0.1][OH^-]^2 = 4 \times 10^{-21} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [OH^-]^2 = \frac{4 \times 10^{-21}}{0.1} = 4 \times 10^{-20} \] Taking the square root: \[ [OH^-] = \sqrt{4 \times 10^{-20}} = 2 \times 10^{-10} \, M \] 4. **Calculate \( [OH^-] \) for \( M(OH)_3 \):** - Given \( [M^{3+}] = 0.1 \, M \): \[ K_{sp} = [0.1][OH^-]^3 = 9 \times 10^{-24} \] Rearranging gives: \[ [OH^-]^3 = \frac{9 \times 10^{-24}}{0.1} = 9 \times 10^{-23} \] Taking the cube root: \[ [OH^-] = \sqrt[3]{9 \times 10^{-23}} \approx 4.48 \times 10^{-8} \, M \] 5. **Determine Which Precipitates First:** - The \( OH^- \) concentration required for \( M(OH)_2 \) to precipitate is \( 2 \times 10^{-10} \, M \). - The \( OH^- \) concentration required for \( M(OH)_3 \) to precipitate is approximately \( 4.48 \times 10^{-8} \, M \). - Since \( 2 \times 10^{-10} \, M \) (for \( M(OH)_2 \)) is less than \( 4.48 \times 10^{-8} \, M \) (for \( M(OH)_3 \)), \( M(OH)_2 \) will precipitate first. ### Conclusion: The electrolyte that precipitates first upon adding \( Zn(OH)_2 \) slowly in the solution is \( M(OH)_2 \).
