Answer:

a) Ksp = 7.9x10⁻¹⁰

b) Solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M

Explanation:

a) InF₃ in water produce:

InF₃ ⇄ In⁺³ + 3F⁻

And Ksp is defined as:

Ksp = [In⁺³] [F⁻]³

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL of InF₃ are:

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL ₓ (1mol / 172g) ₓ (100mL / 0.1L) = <em>2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃. </em>Thus:

[In⁺³] = 2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃ × (1 mol In⁺³ / mol InF₃) = 2.3x10⁻³M  In⁺³

[F⁻] = 2.3x10⁻³M  InF₃ × (3 mol F⁻ / mol InF₃) = 7.0x10⁻³M F⁻

Replacing these values in Ksp formula:

Ksp = [2.3x10⁻³M  In⁺³] × [7.0x10⁻³M F⁻]³ = <em>7.9x10⁻¹⁰</em>

<em></em>

b) 0.05 moles of F⁻ produce solubility of InF₃ decrease to:

7.9x10⁻¹⁰ = [x] [0.05 + 3x]³

Where x are moles of In⁺³ produced from solid InF₃ and 3x are moles of F⁻ produced from the same source. That means x is solubility in mol / L

Solving from x:

x = -0.018 → False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

x = 6.31x10⁻⁶M → Right answer.

Thus, <em>solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M</em>
