Problem

Calcium nitrate has a measured Ksp=3.2K_{sp}=3.2 at 25∘C25^{\circ}\text{C}. How should this compound be classified with respect to its solubility in water under these conditions? a) Sparingly soluble, because its KspK_{sp} is close to 1 b) Practically insoluble, since its KspK_{sp} is well below that of typical soluble salts c) Soluble, because its equilibrium constant is significantly greater than 1 d) Indeterminate without additional thermodynamic data such as lattice enthalpy
