b) Using Activities (use activity coefficient vs ionic strength table in your textbook)

9. a) Write mass balance expression for a saturated solution of Ag2CO3.

b) Write charge balance expression for a saturated solution of Ag2CO3

Ag2CO3 (s) ⇄ 2Ag+ + CO32-

CO32-+H2O ⇄ HCO3-+ OH-
HCO3-+H2O ⇄ H2CO3 + OH-

Pb2+

Ksp (PbC2O4)= 8.5.10-9, Ksp (CdC2O4)=9.10-8
