Question

What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver chloride at 25 oC given a Ksp value of 1.6 x 10-10. Write using scientific notation and use 1 or 2 decimal places (even though this is strictly incorrect!)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

AgCl      ⇄       Ag⁺       +       Cl⁻

m                       m                   m

If x mole of AgCl be dissolved in one litre .

[ Ag⁺ ] [ Cl⁻ ] = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m² =  1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles

So solubility of AgCl is 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles / L
