Solubility of MX2 type electrolytes is 0.5 10-4 mole/lit., then find out Ksp of electrolytes.
- 5 10-12
- 25 10-10
- 1 10-13
- 5 10-13
Answer
(4) 5 10-13
Solution
MX2(s) M2+(aq) + 2X-(aq)
If solubility = s, then [ M2+] = s and [X-] = 2s
⇒ Ksp = s(2s)2 = 4s3
⇒ Ksp = 4 (0.5 10-4)3
= 4 0.125 10-12
∴ Ksp = 5 10-13
Answer: (4)
