    Mass of Co (NO₃) ₂ = 1.95 g

    V KOH = 0.350 L

    [KOH] = 0.220 M

    Kf = 5.0 x 10⁹

    molar mass of Co (NO₃) ₂ = 182.943 g/mol

    so [Co (NO₃) ₂] = 1.95 / (0.350 * 182.943) = 0.03045 M

    [Co²⁺] = 0.03045 M

    [OH⁻] = 0.22 M

    chemical reaction:

    Co²⁺ (aq) + 4 OH⁻ ⇄ Co (OH) ₄²⁻

    I (M) 0.03045 0.22 0

    C (M) - 0.03045 - 4 (0.03045) 0.03045

    E (M) - x 0.22 - 4 (0.03045) 0.03045

    = 0.0982

    Kf = [Co (OH) ₄²⁻] / [Co⁺²][OH⁻]⁴

    5.0 x 10⁹ = (0.03045) / x (0.0982) ⁴

    x = 6.5489 x 10⁻⁸

    at equilibrium:

    [Co²⁺] = 6.54 x 10⁻⁸

    [OH⁻] = 0.0982 M

    [Co (OH) ₄²⁻] = 0.03045 M
