Answer:
3.0×10⁻¹³ M
Explanation:
The solubility product Ksp is the product of the concentrations of the ions involved. This relation can be used to find the solubility of interest.
<h3>Equation</h3>
The power of each concentration in the equation for Ksp is the coefficient of the species in the balanced equation.
Ksp = [Al₃⁺³]×[OH⁻]³
<h3>Solving for [Al₃⁺³]</h3>
The initial concentration [OH⁻] is that in water, 10⁻⁷ M. The reaction equation tells us there are 3 OH ions for each Al₃ ion. If x is the concentration [Al₃⁺³], then the reaction increases the concentration [OH⁻] by 3x.
This means the solubility product equation is ...
Ksp = x(10⁻⁷ +3x)³
For the given Ksp = 3×10⁻³⁴, we can estimate the value of x will be less than 10⁻⁸. This means the sum will be dominated by the 10⁻⁷ term, and we can figure x from ...
3.0×10⁻³⁴ = x(10⁻⁷)³
Then x = [Al₃⁺³] will be ...
![[\text{Al}_3^{\,+3}]=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{-34}}{10^{-21}}\approx \boxed{3.0\times10^{-13}\qquad\text{moles per liter}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7BAl%7D_3%5E%7B%5C%2C%2B3%7D%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3.0%5Ctimes10%5E%7B-34%7D%7D%7B10%5E%7B-21%7D%7D%5Capprox%20%5Cboxed%7B3.0%5Ctimes10%5E%7B-13%7D%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Bmoles%20per%20liter%7D%7D)
We note this value is significantly less than 10⁻⁷, so our assumption that it could be neglected in the original Ksp equation is substantiated.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The attachment shows the solution of the 4th-degree Ksp equation in x. The only positive real root (on the bottom line) rounds to 3.0×10^-13.
Since each Chlorine molecule is -1 and wants to gain an electron, 2 Chlorine atoms like to come together to form Cl2 by sharing 2 electrons each to form a single bond between the 2 atoms. Since both Chlornine has the same electronegativity, the bond is non-polar covalent since there electrons are evenly shared.
The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.
<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>
Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.
