First, determine the molar solubility of iron(II) carbonate NEGLECTING the hydrolysis of the carbonate ion.
Second, determine the molar solubility of iron (II) carbonate INCLUDING the effect of the hydrolysis of the carbonate ion.
FeCO3(s) + H2O+ <--> Fe2+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq) + OH-(aq)
What is the expected pH of this solution?
Estimate the free carbonate ion concentration in this solution.
Estimate the concentration of carbonic acid in solution.
determine the solubility of iron (II) carbonate (INCLUDING the effect of the hydrolysis) in a pH = 8.00 buffer.
Compare the solubility in the pH 8 buffer to the solubility in pure water. Briefly explain any difference.
