Find $[{La}^{3 +}]$ in the solution when excess solid lanthanum iodate, $La {({IO}_{3})}_{3}$ , is stirred with until the system reaches equilibrium. Assume that ${IO}_{3}^{-}$ from ${La}_{3} {({IO}_{3})}_{3}$ is negligible compared with ${IO}_{3}^{-}$ from ${LiOO}_{3}$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

$[{La}^{3 -}]$ in the solution was found to be $8.0 x 10 {}^{8}M$

Step by step solution

solubility product

When solid lanthanum iodide $La {({IO}_{3})}_{3}$ is stirred with $0.050 M$ lithium iodate $({LiO}_{3})$ up to it attains an equilibrium, the $[{La}^{3 -}]$ in the solution has to be calculated.

Solubility product role="math" localid="1663410124986" $(K_{s p})$ :

It is defined as the mathematical product of the dissolved ion's concentration raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient.

$M_{y} X_{z (s)} {yM}^{z +}_{(aq)} + {zX}^{y -}_{(aq)} K_{sp} = {[M^{z}]}^{y} {[X^{y -}]}^{z}$

the concentration of Iodide should not be changed

$K_{sp}$ for $La {({IO}_{3})}_{3}$ is very small. That is $(1.0 x 10^{- 11})$ . Therefore, imagine that the concentration of Iodide should not be changed by the minimum amount of $La {({IO}_{3})}_{3}$ that dissolve.

$[{La}^{2}] = \frac{K_{sp}}{{[{IO}_{3}^{-}]}^{3}} = \frac{1.0 x 10^{- 11}}{{(0.050)}^{3}} [{La}^{3 -}] = 8.30 x 10^{- 8} M$

The answer proved that the assumption that locate formed from $La {({IO}_{3})}_{3} 0.050 M$ .

$[{La}^{3 -}]$ in the solution was found to be $8.0 x 10^{8} M$
