Question

(1) The solubility of Salt AB2(s) is 5mol/dm^3. (a) Obtain an expression for the solubility product of Salt AB2,in terms of s.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let the equation of dissolution be;

AB2(s) ⇄A(aq) + 2S

Hence;

Ksp = [A] [2s]^2

Let the concentration of the species be s

Ksp= s × (2s)^2

Ksp= 4s^3

Since s= 5mol/dm^3

Ksp = 4(5mol/dm^3)^3

Ksp = 500 mol^2dm^-6
