âIt would have been impossible to grow up in the South from 1890 to World War I and not have heard or read [the lost cause version of history] many times over as the common sense of white Southern self-understanding.â
The iron(II) hydroxide reduces these ions to elemental selenium, which is insoluble in water and precipitates out. Note: pK sp = 15.097 where p is the-log and K sp is the Solubility Product Constant. This means it has a low tendency to dissolve, but is not entirely insoluble.ron(II) hydroxide. Iron(II) hydroxide or ferrous hydroxide is a compound with the formula Fe(OH) 2. It is produced when iron(II) ions, from a compound such as iron(II) sulfate, react with hydroxide ions. Iron(II) hydroxide itself is practically white, but even traces of oxygen impart a greenish tinge.
A similar pattern can be found in the chemistry of the oxides formed by metals and nonmetals. Nonmetal oxides dissolve in water to form acids. CO2 dissolves in water to give carbonic acid, SO3 gives sulfuric acid, and P4O10 reacts with water to give phosphoric acid. Metal oxides, on the other hand, are bases. Metal oxides formally contain the O2- ion, which reacts with water to give a pair of OH- ions.
