Can somebody explain the following 2 questions from AAMC Sample Test C/P Sections?
# 3 Why do kidney stones form in some individuals treated with Compound 1?
Answer: [Ca 2+] [C2O4 2-] > Ksp
Because calcium oxalate precipitates when [Ca 2+] [C2O4 2-] exceeds the solubility product constant Ksp by definition.
Shouldn't the equation goes like this: Ksp = [Ca 2+] [C2O4 2-] and the higher the [Ca 2+] [C2O4 2-] value, the higher solubility, and the less kidney stones will form? What...
