K sp = x (2x) 2 = 4x 3 : [OH ] is from solid dissolving ( plain water ), so 2x! 5b. same as 3b, [OH ] is 2 times Molar solubility, or 3.8 x 10 5 M, poh = 4.42, ph = 9.58 p2. 5c. K sp = x (10 5 ) 2 :the poh=5, so [OH ]=10 5 M, (not 2x10 5 ) [OH ] is given so no times 2! 5d. same as 5c, [OH ] = 10 7 M, e. different [OH ] affect how much dissolves, but not K sp! 6. K sp = (2.0 x 10 8 ) x 2 : [MnO 4 ] is from outside so no times 2 :, not (2.0 x 10 8 )(2x) 2! 7. K sp = 1.7 x 10 8 (x) 2 and x = [OH ], from outside, not from solid dissolving, no 2x! 8.

K sp = (3.3 x 10 10 )(6.6 x 10 10 ) 2 [OH ] from solid dissolving, so yes, [OH ]=2 x solubility! 3b.K sp = 1.4x10 16 (x 2 ) : [OH ] from outside so no 2x ; 3c. same idea, [OH ] = x! 4.
