The molar solubility of lead(ii) phosphate (pb3(po4)2) is 7.9 x 10-43 m. calculate the solubility product constant (ksp) of lead(ii) phosphate.

Respuesta :

the answer is 3.3 x 10^-209 . i hope this helps.

Answer : The value of [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of [tex]Pb_3(PO_4)_2[/tex] is, [tex]3.32\times 10^{-209}[/tex]

Explanation :

The equilibrium reaction will be,

[tex]Pb_3(PO_4)_2\rightleftharpoons 3Pb^{2+}+2PO_4^{2-}[/tex]

The expression of solubility product, [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] will be,

[tex]k_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}]^3[PO_4^{2-}]^2[/tex]

Let the molar solubility be 's'.

[tex]k_{sp}=(3s)^3\times (2s)^2[/tex]

[tex]k_{sp}=108\times s^5[/tex]

Now put the value of 's' in this expression, we get :

[tex]k_{sp}=108\times (7.9\times 10^{-43})^5=3.32\times 10^{-209}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]K_{sp}[/tex] of [tex]Pb_3(PO_4)_2[/tex] is, [tex]3.32\times 10^{-209}[/tex]
