16PRACTICE PROBLEM
Carbonate minerals are minerals that contain carbonate (CO32–) as one of their major components. Two examples of these carbonate minerals are malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3) with Ksp = 6.9×10–34 and azurite (Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2) with Ksp = 1.3×10–45. Provide the expression for the solubility product constant for malachite and azurite.
