For a sparingly soluble salt AB2, the equilibrium concentrations of A2+ ions and B- ions are 1.2 10-4 M and 0.24 10-3 M, respectively. The solubility product of AB2 is :
- 0.069 10-12
- 0.276 10-12
- 6.91 10-12
- 27.65 10-12
Answer
(3) 6.91 10-12
Solution
AB2(s) A2+(aq) + 2B-(aq)
Ksp = [ A2+][B-]2
Ksp = (1.2 10-4)(2.4 10-4)2
Ksp = 1.2 5.76 10-12 = 6.91 10-12
Answer: (3)
