How to Find out whether a Precipitation of a Salt May Happen under Certain Conditions – Part 2

Solubility equilibrium is a type of dynamic equilibrium that exists when a solid chemical compound is in chemical equilibrium with a solution of that compound.


The solid may dissolve unchanged, with dissociation, or with chemical reaction with another component of the solution, viz., acid, base or salt. Each solubility equilibrium is characterized by a temperature-dependent solubility product which functions like an equilibrium constant.

Question:

Equal volumes of 0.002 M solutions of Sodium iodate and Copper(II) chlorate are mixed together. Will it lead to precipitation of Copper(II) iodate? (For Copper(II) iodate, Ksp = 7.4 × 10–8).

Solution:
