Answer:
3.0×10⁻¹³ M
Explanation:
The solubility product Ksp is the product of the concentrations of the ions involved. This relation can be used to find the solubility of interest.
<h3>Equation</h3>The power of each concentration in the equation for Ksp is the coefficient of the species in the balanced equation.
Ksp = [Al₃⁺³]×[OH⁻]³
<h3>Solving for [Al₃⁺³]</h3>The initial concentration [OH⁻] is that in water, 10⁻⁷ M. The reaction equation tells us there are 3 OH ions for each Al₃ ion. If x is the concentration [Al₃⁺³], then the reaction increases the concentration [OH⁻] by 3x.
This means the solubility product equation is ...
Ksp = x(10⁻⁷ +3x)³
For the given Ksp = 3×10⁻³⁴, we can estimate the value of x will be less than 10⁻⁸. This means the sum will be dominated by the 10⁻⁷ term, and we can figure x from ...
3.0×10⁻³⁴ = x(10⁻⁷)³
Then x = [Al₃⁺³] will be ...
We note this value is significantly less than 10⁻⁷, so our assumption that it could be neglected in the original Ksp equation is substantiated.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The attachment shows the solution of the 4th-degree Ksp equation in x. The only positive real root (on the bottom line) rounds to 3.0×10^-13.
