AI Thread Summary
To calculate the solubility of calcium oxalate (CaC2O4) in a buffered solution, focus on the concentration of the oxalate ion (COO-)2. Begin by setting up an ICE table for the dissociation of CaC2O4, noting that the initial concentration of the relevant ion is zero. Consider the influence of the common ion effect on solubility. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying the relevant ions and their concentrations in the equilibrium expression. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement
Calculate the solubility of CaC2O4 in a 0.001M solution of Na2C2O4 buffered to pH equal to 4
Relevant Equations
Kps=(Ca+2).(C2O4-2)
Data:
##
pK_{ps} , pKa_{1} , pKa_{2}
##

Could you guide me to start solving?
Thank you!

Hint: only concentration of (COO-)2 counts.
 
First, set up and ICE table for the chemical equation of ##\mathrm{CaC_2O_4}## and think about what the initial concentration of the relevant dissociated ion is.

Taking into account I is zero I don't think that will help much.

Which is in your Relevant Equation. So can start. Wonder what's taking?

Yes. My mistake. My brain completely skipped over important parts of the question.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
