    4.6305 * 10^-6 mol^3. L^-3

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we write the value for the solubility of Ca (IO3) 2 in pure water. This equals 0.0105mol/L.

    We proceed to write the dissociation reaction equation for Ca (IO3) 2

    Ca (IO3) 2 (s) Ca2 + (aq) + 2IO3 - (aq)

    We set up an ICE table to calculate the Ksp. ICE stands for initial, change and equilibrium. Let the concentration of the Ca (IO3) 2 be x. We write the values for the ICE table as follows:

    Ca2 + (aq). 2IO3 - (aq)

    I. 0. 0.

    C. + x. + 2x

    E. x. 2x

    The solubility product Ksp = [Ca2+][IO3-]^2

    Ksp = x * (2x) ^2

    Ksp = 4x^3

    Recall, the solubility value for Ca (IO3) 2 in pure water is 0.0105mol/L

    We substitute this value for x

    Ksp = 4 (0.0105) ^2 = 4 * 0.000001157625 = 4.6305 * 10^-6
