Interpretation: The order of zinc sulfide, zinc carbonate, and silver iodide from most soluble to least stable are to be given.
Concept Introduction: The expression representing the product of the concentrations of the ions each raised to the power (equal to their
Answer to Problem 2STP
The order from most soluble to least soluble is zinc carbonate, silver iodide, and zinc sulfide.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The smaller the value of the solubility product constant
The value of the solubility product of zinc sulfide is the lowest and the solubility product of zinc carbonate is the highest. Thus, the least soluble is zinc sulfide and zinc carbonate is the most soluble.
Therefore, the order from most soluble to least soluble is zinc carbonate, silver iodide, and zinc sulfide.
