Using Thermodynamic Values to Find Equilibrium Constants

Example

Find the molar solubility of Fe(OH)3 in water at 25 °C.

Ksp for Fe(OH)3 is not listed in the Table of Solubility Product Constants

This means we need to find Ksp from thermodynamic data

Write the balanced reaction:

Fe(OH)3(s) Fe3+(aq) + 3 OH(aq)
