Hey there!:

To get to the molar solubility from the Ksp, you have to think about the how Ksp is calculated, and what it means.  

For a compound that forms 2 ions, Ksp = X^2 where X is the molar solubility. For a compound that forms 3 ions, Ksp = 4X^3, where again, X is the molar solubility.  

If you calculate the molar solubilities of each of your compounds, you will see that  A2X  has the higher molar solubilty

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A₃X

Explanation:

In order to find the molar solubility (S) of a compound, we will use an ICE Chart.

A₂X

Let's consider the solution of A₂X.

     A₂X(s) ⇄ 2 A⁺(aq) + X²⁻(aq)

I                         0           0

C                     +2S        +S

E                       2S          S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ = [A⁺]².[X²⁻] = (2S)².S = 4S³

S = 0.016 M

A₃X

Let's consider the solution of A₃X.

     A₃X ⇄ 3 A⁺(aq) + X³⁻(aq)

I                    0             0

C                 +3S         +S

E                   3S           S

The solubility product (Kps) is:

Kps = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵ = [A⁺]³.[X³⁻] = (3S)³.S = 27 S⁴

S = 0.027 M

A₃X has a higher molar solubility than A₂X.

What is the molar mass of citric acid (c6h8o7) and baking soda (nahco3)?
Rufina [12.5K]

The molar mass of citric acid (c6h8o7) is 192.124g/mol

The molar mass of baking soda (nahco3) is 84.007g/mol

The molar mass of a chemical compound is defined as the mass of a sample of that compound divided by the amount of substance in that sample and is measured in moles. Molar mass is a mass property, not a molecular property of a substance.

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of the sample. To find the molar mass, add up the atomic masses (atomic weights) of all the atoms in the molecule. Use the masses listed in the periodic table or atomic weight table to determine the atomic mass of each element.
