Gout is a disease resulting from the deposition of a slightly soluble sodium urate (CSH3N4O3NA) crystals in the joints caused by the overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid in body fluids. If the extracellular [Na+] is 0.15 Mand the solubility of sodium urate is 0.085 g/100 mL, what is the minimum urate ion concentration that will cause a deposit of sodium urate?
