Answer

$K_{ps} = 2.268 \times 10^{-9}$

Work Step by Step

1. Conver the mass to nº of moles: $n(moles) CaC_2O_4= 40.08*1 + 12.01*2 + 16*4 $ $40.08 + 24.02 + 64 = 128.1 g/mol$ $n(moles) = \frac{mass(g)}{mm}$ $n(moles) = \frac{0.0061}{128.1}$ $n(moles) = 4.762 \times 10^{-5}$ 2. Since there are $4.762 \times 10^{-5}$ moles in 1L, the concentration is: $4.762 \times 10^{-5}M$ 3. Write the Kps equation: $K_{ps} = [Ca^{2+}] *[{C_2O_4}^{2-}]$ $K_{ps} = 4.762 \times 10^{-5} * 4.762 \times 10^{-5}$ $K_{ps} = 2.268 \times 10^{-9}$
