Using the Gibbs energy change, G = +63.3 kJ, for the following reaction, Ag2CO3(s) 2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) the Ksp of Ag2CO3(s) in water at 25 C is ( R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1)
- 3.2 10-26
- 8.0 10-12
- 2.9 10-3
- 7.9 10-2
Answer
(2) 8.0 10-12
Solution
G = -2.303 RT Ksp
Ksp = - 63.3 1032.303 8.314 298
= - 633005705.8
= -11.09
∴ Ksp = 10-11.09 = 8.0 10-12
Answer: (2)
