Explanation / Answer

1)

Al(OH)3(s)Al3++3OH(aq)

Ksp=1.3×1033

Ksp = [Al+3][OH-]^3

if [Al+] = 6.5*10^-2

Then

1.3×1033 = ( 6.5*10^-2) (OH-)^3

[OH-] = 2.71*10^-11

pOH = -log(HO) = -log(2.71*10^-11 = 10.567

ph = 14-10.567

any pH > 3.433 will precipitate

Now that w ehave a pH

calculate

pH = pKa + log(A-/HA)

3.433 = 4.75 + log(A-/1)

Solve for [A-] =

[A-] )= 0.04819 M

V = 0.25 L so

mol A-. = M*V = 0.04819*0.25 = 0.0120475 mol of NaCH3COO

MW of Acetate = 82.0338

mass = mol*MW = 0.0120475*82.0338 = 0.988302 g of acetate
