Question

At 20 °C, a saturated aqueous solution of silver acetate, AgCH3CO2, contains 1.0 g of silver compound dissolved in 100.0 mL of solution. What is the Ksp of silver acetate?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ksp = 0.0036.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the Ksp of the silver acetate, by knowing that its equilibrium expression is:

$Ksp=[Ag^+][CH_3COO^-]$

Next, we calculate molar concentration of the ions in the solution, the same to that of the acetate ions, due to the 1:1 mole ratio, as follows:

$[Ag^+]=[CH_3COO^-]=\frac{1.0g/(166.9122 g/mol)}{0.1000L} =0.0600M$

Therefore, the Ksp is:

$Ksp=0.0036$
