Question
A chemist has a 50.0 mL sample of 0.010 M Na₂C₂O4 at 25 °C (solution A, oxalate ion = C₂04²-). An
aqueous solution of Ca(NO3)2 with a volume of 50.0 mL (solution B) is added to solution A, at the
same temperature.
Above what minimum concentration must Ca(NO3)2 in solution B be, prior to mixing, to cause
CaC₂O4 to precipitate given that for CaC₂O4, Ksp = 2.7 x 10-⁹ at 25 °C?
Enter your answer with two significant figures, without units, and in millimolarity (mM) where:
millimolarity = (molarity)(1000)
