What is the solubility products constant expression for the ff.
1) silver ethanediote
2) silver carbonate
3) lead (ii) sulphate
4) barium sulphate
What is ff?
Ksp = concn ions each raised to the power shown by the coefficients. For example:
Ag2CO3 => 2Ag^+ + CO3^2- so
Ksp = (Ag^+)^2[CO3]^2-
BaSO4 ==> Ba^2+ + SO4^2-
Ksp = (Ba^2+)[SO4]^2-
etc.
You do the others. I shall be happy to check your answers if you will post them.
The solubility product constant (Ksp) expression represents the equilibrium of the dissolution of a sparingly soluble compound. Here are the Ksp expressions for the given compounds:
1) Silver ethanediote (silver oxalate):
The formula of silver ethanediote is Ag2C2O4. The Ksp expression for silver ethanediote is:
Ksp = [Ag+]^2[C2O4^2-]
2) Silver carbonate:
The formula of silver carbonate is Ag2CO3. The Ksp expression for silver carbonate is:
Ksp = [Ag+]^2 [CO3^2-]
3) Lead (II) sulphate:
The formula of lead (II) sulphate is PbSO4. The Ksp expression for lead (II) sulphate is:
Ksp = [Pb^2+][SO4^2-]
4) Barium sulphate:
The formula of barium sulphate is BaSO4. The Ksp expression for barium sulphate is:
Ksp = [Ba^2+][SO4^2-]
Remember, in each expression, the square brackets represent the concentration of the ions in solution.
To determine the solubility product constant expressions for the given compounds, we first need to know their respective chemical formulas.
1) Silver ethanediote: The chemical formula for silver ethanediote is Ag2C2O4. The solubility product constant expression can be written as:
Ksp = [Ag+]^2[C2O4^2-]
2) Silver carbonate: The chemical formula for silver carbonate is Ag2CO3. The solubility product constant expression can be written as:
Ksp = [Ag+]^2[CO3^2-]
3) Lead (II) sulphate: The chemical formula for lead (II) sulphate is PbSO4. The solubility product constant expression can be written as:
Ksp = [Pb^2+][SO4^2-]
4) Barium sulphate: The chemical formula for barium sulphate is BaSO4. The solubility product constant expression can be written as:
Ksp = [Ba^2+][SO4^2-]
Remember that the solubility product constant expressions describe the equilibrium between the solid compound and its dissociated ions when the compound is dissolved in water.
