The answer to this question is
Zn(OH)2 will not precipitate
because Q < Ksp.
but please provide an explanation to why,
The question states that Zinc hydroxide has
a Ksp of 3.0 ×
10−17. If 1.0 mol of
Zn(NO3)2 is added to 1.0 L of an aqueous
solution buffered at pH = 5.00 at 298 K, what will happen?
Hint: Think about the pOH of the solution before the addition of
Zn(NO3)2.
