Question

The hydroxide ion has the formula OH−OH−. The solubility-product constants for three generic hydroxides are given here.

 

Generic hydroxide KspKspK_sp
XOHXOH 1.30×10−81.30×10−8
Y(OH)2Y(OH)2 3.40×10−103.40×10−10
Z(OH)3Z(OH)3 6.00×10−156.00×10−15

 

Use these values to answer the following questions.
