For the metal carbonate, MCO3 , the value of the
solubility-product constant, Ksp , is 7.4 × 10−14 at 25°C. On the
basis of this information, which compound, M(OH)2 or MCO3, has
the greater molar solubility in water at 25°C ? Justify your answer
with a calculation. Ksp , for M(OH)2 at 25°C is 1.4 ×
10−15. At 25°C, a saturated solution of M(OH)2 has a pH of
9.15.
