calculate how much strontium fluoride will dissolve in 1L of water given Ksp= 2.5x10^-9 at 25 degree celsius
....................SrF2 ==> Sr^2+ + 2F^-
I...................solid...........0.............0
C..................solid...........x.............2x
E...................solid...........x............2x
Kso = (Sr^2+)(F^-)^2
Substitute the E line into Ksp and solve for x = solubility of SrF2 in mols/L. If you want grams/L, then g = mols x molar mass = ?
To calculate the amount of strontium fluoride that will dissolve in 1L of water, you need to use the solubility product constant (Ksp) and the stoichiometry of the dissociation reaction.
The dissociation reaction of strontium fluoride (SrF2) in water can be represented as follows:
SrF2(s) ↔ Sr2+(aq) + 2F-(aq)
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, for every mole of SrF2 that dissolves, one mole of Sr2+ and two moles of F- ions are produced.
The solubility product constant (Ksp) expression for this reaction can be written as follows:
Ksp = [Sr2+] * [F-]^2
Given that Ksp = 2.5x10^-9, and assuming "x" represents the molar solubility (in mol/L) of SrF2, the equilibrium concentrations can be set as follows:
[Sr2+] = x
[F-] = 2x (because the stoichiometric ratio of F- to SrF2 is 2:1)
Substituting these values into the Ksp expression, we get:
Ksp = x * (2x)^2
2.5x10^-9 = 4x^3
To solve for "x", you need to solve this cubic equation. You can utilize numerical methods or software to find the value of "x". In this case, the value of "x" will represent the molar solubility of SrF2 in 1L of water at 25 degrees Celsius.
