Question 7

Multiple Choice

A solution containing CaCl2 is mixed with a solution of Li2C2O4 to form a solution that is 3.5 × 10-4 mol L-1 in calcium ion and 2.33 × 10-4 mol L-1 in oxalate ion. What will happen once these solutions are mixed? Ksp (CaC2O4) = 2.3 × 10-9.


A) Nothing will happen since both calcium chloride and lithium oxalate are soluble compounds.
B) Nothing will happen because Ksp > Q for all possible precipitates.
C) A precipitate will form as calcium oxalate is not soluble to any extent.
D) A precipitate will form since Q > Ksp for calcium oxalate.
E) Nothing will happen because Q = Ksp.
