[Ca2+] = x + y
Now, Ksp (CaCO3) = [Ca2+] [CO3 2-]
or 4.7 × 10–9 = (x + y)x .......(1)
similarly, Ksp (CaC2O4) = [Ca2+] [C2O42–]
or 1.3 × 10–9 = (x + y)y .......(2)
Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get
${x \over y} = 3.6$
$ \therefore $ x = 3.6y
Putting in equation (2) we get
y(3.6y + y) = 1.3 × 10–9
$ \Rightarrow $ y = 1.68 $ \times $ 10-5
and x = 3.6 $ \times $ 1.68 $ \times $ 10-5 = 6.048 $ \times $ 10-5
$ \therefore $ [Ca2+] = (x + y) = (6.048 $ \times $ 10-5) + (1.68 $ \times $ 10-5)
$ \therefore $ [Ca2+] = 7.746 × 10–5 M
