Answer:
3.2 × 10⁻⁸
Explanation:
Let's consider the solution of magnesium carbonate.
MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
We can relate the molar solubility (S) with the solubility product (Ksp) using an ICE chart.
MgCO₃ ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
I 0 0
C +S +S
E S S
The Ksp is:
Ksp = [Mg²⁺] × [CO₃²⁻] = S × S = S² = (1.8 × 10⁻⁴)² = 3.2 × 10⁻⁸
The answer is 2 because you have to divide these numbers.<span />
