Homework Statement
The Ksp of Al(OH)3 is 1.0 x 10-33. What is the solubility of Al(OH)3 in 0.0010 M Al(NO3)3? Give your answer using scientific notation and to 2 significant figures (i.e., one decimal place).
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I can solve easier questions than this but I'm confused on how the .0010 M Al(NO3)3 will dissociate into and how it will effect the Ksp.
From what I gather AL(NO3)3 will dissociate into 4 ions, AL, and 3(NO3). Since it's at .001 M the 3(NO3) has a value of .003M.
1.8E-33 = (x)(.003) = 6E-31. Which I know isn't even close. The correct answer is 3.3e-11 but I can only guess on how to get that answer.
Any help would be appreciated.
