Question
  1. The solubility of Ag₂CO3 is measured and found to be 3.41×10-2 g/L. Use this information to calculate a Ksp value for silver carbonate.

    Ksp = ___________

  2. The solubility of CaSO4 is measured and found to be 0.689 g/L. Use this information to calculate a Ksp value for calcium sulfate.

    Ksp = ___________

  3. The solubility of BaF2 is measured and found to be 1.29 g/L. Use this information to calculate a Ksp value for barium fluoride.

    Ksp = _________

(The attached picture is an example how to solve the given problems; The example's problem is The solubility of Ag2SO3 is measured and found to be 4.51x10-3 g/L. Use this information to calculate a Ksp value for silver sulfite.)

ep 1. Write a balanced equation for the equilibrium and the Ksp expression.
Ag,S03(s) 2Ag*(aq) + S03² (aq)
Ksp = [Ag*]²[SO3²-]
ep 2. Use the solubility to calculate the ion concentrations at equilibrium.
If silver sulfite dissolves to the extent of 4.51x10 g/L of solution, the silver ion
concentration is:
4.51×10g Ag2S03
1 mol Ag2S03
2 mol Agt
[Ag*] =
3.05x10 5 M

1 L
295.81 g Ag2S03
1 mol Ag,S03
The sulfite ion concentration can be calculated from the silver ion concentration:
3.05x10 mol Ag*

1 mol SO,2-
[So,2] =
1.52×10 5 M

Step 3. Use the equilibrium concentrations to calculate Ksp-
Ksp = [Ag*]?[SO32] = (3.05×105)2(1.52×10-5) = 1.42×10-14
Alternately, you can use the relationship between the cation and anion concentrations for
this salt ([Ag+] = 2 x [SO,²1) to calculate Ksp:
Ksp = [Ag*]2 [S03²] = (2[SO,2 ])²([SO,²]) = 4 [So,2 ]3 = 4 (1.52x10 5)3 =
1.42x10 14
For silver sulfite the tabulate value for Ksp = 1.5×10 14. In this case, the value based on the
observed solubility was low by 5 %.
