Question: The solubility-product constants, K sp, at 25 C for two compounds [iron(II) carbonate, FeCO3, and cadmium(II) carbonate, CdCO3] are given by the table Substance K

The solubility-product constants, K sp, at 25 ∘C for two compounds [iron(II) carbonate, FeCO3, and cadmium(II) carbonate, CdCO3] are given by the table

Substance K sp
FeCO3 2.10×10−11
CdCO3 1.80×10−14

A solution of Na2CO3 is added dropwise to a solution that contains 1.12×10−2 M Fe2+ and 1.51×10−2 M Cd2+. What concentration of CO32− is need to initiate precipitation? Neglect any volume changes during the addition.
