The solubility of the ionic compound MX3, having a molar mass of 288 g/mol, is 3.60 x 10-2 g/L. Calculate the KSP of the compound.

Respuesta :

[tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of the compound is found to be  5.04 ×[tex]10^{-10}[/tex].

Solubility :Solubility can be define as the amount of a substance that dissolves or mixes in a given amount of solvent at specific conditions.

Solubility equilibrium

Ksp = [tex][A^{+} ]^{a}[/tex] [tex][B^{-} ]^{b}[/tex]

Ksp = solubility product constant

A+ = cation in an aquious solution

B- = anion in an aqueous solution

a, b = relative concentrations of a and b

Given,

Solubility = s = 3.60 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] g/L

molar mass = 288 g/ mol

∴ s= 3.60 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] g/L ÷ 288 g/ mol = 1.25 ×[tex]10^{-4}[/tex] mol/ L

Reaction:

MX3 ⇄ M + 3X

           s       3s

[tex]K_{sp}[/tex] =[ [tex]M^{+3}[/tex]] [ [tex]X^{-1}[/tex][tex]]^{3}[/tex] = solubility product

∴ [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] =[tex][s]^{} [3s]^{3}[/tex]

∴ [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] = 3 [tex]s^{4}[/tex]

∴ [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] = 3 × (3.60 × [tex]10^{-2}[/tex] [tex])^{4}[/tex]

[tex]K_{sp}[/tex] = 503.8848 ×[tex]10^{-8}[/tex]  = 5.04 ×[tex]10^{-10}[/tex]
