When PH + POH = 14
∴ POH = 14 -7 = 7
when POH = -㏒[OH-]
7 = -㏒ [OH-]
∴[OH-] = 10^-7
by using ICE table:
Mn(OH)2(s) ⇄ Mn2+ (aq) + 2OH-(aq)
initial 0 10^-7
change +X +2X
Equ X (10^-7 + 2X)
when Ksp = [Mn2+][OH-]^2
when Ksp of Mn(OH)2 = 4.6 x 10^-14
by substitution:
4.6 x 10^-14 = X*(10^-7+2X)^2 by solving this equation for X
∴ X =2.3 x 10-5 M
∴ The solubility of Mn(OH)2 in grams per liter (when the molar mass of Mn(OH)2 = 88.953 g/mol
= 2.3 x10^-5 moles/L * 88.953 g/mol
= 0.002 g/ L
In oil and gas industry:
When crude oil get extracted from well, salt water and some other stuff needs to be removed before oil can be sued in the car
