Questions and Answers

What does the equilibrium equation between solid calcium carbonate and its solvated ions describe?

  • The concentration of calcium ions in a saturated solution
  • The ratio of solid calcium carbonate to its ions in solution
  • The establishment of equilibrium in an aqueous solution with calcium and carbonate ions (correct)
  • The precipitation of calcium carbonate
  • What happens if the reaction quotient, Qsp, is less than the solubility product, Ksp?

  • No precipitation will occur (correct)
  • Equilibrium is established
  • Precipitation will occur
  • The solution becomes unsaturated
  • In which direction does the reaction proceed if Qsp is greater than Ksp?

  • Reverse direction (precipitation will occur) (correct)
  • The solution becomes unsaturated
  • Equilibrium is established
  • Forward direction (no precipitation occurs)
