  1. Ksp = [Cu++] [S--] = 8.0 x10 ^-37 (see source below)

    Let molar solubility = x

    Ksp = (x) (x).

    if 0.28 M CuCl2 is present, then [Cu++]o = 0.28 M:

    Ksp = (x + 0.28 M) (x)

    Assume 0.28 >> x so we ignore x in the left parentheses

    Ksp = (0.28 M) (x) = 8.0 x10 ^-37

    Solving x = 2.9x10^-36 M.

    By going through the same procedure with K2S, the exact same answer is obtained.
