Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equilibrium reaction is a reaction in which rate of forward reaction equals to the rate of backward reaction.

Hence, equilibrium reactions are reversible in nature.

For example, $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$ is an equilibrium reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that a dynamic state where two opposing forces are in balance, where two opposite events are occurring at equal rates is equilibrium.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.
