Answer

$9.297 \times 10^{-5} M$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the K formula: $K = [Ca^{2+}][H{CO_3}^-][OH^-] = 8.037 \times 10^{-13}$ *The K value was calculated in 17.99b. $[Ca^{2+}] = [H{CO_3}^-] = [OH^-] = x$ $8.037 \times 10^{-13} = [x][x][x] = x^3$ $x = \sqrt[3] {8.037 \times 10^{-13}}$ $x = 9.297 \times 10^{-5}$
