The concentration of iodide ions in a saturated solution of silver iodide is ________ M. The solubility product constant of AgI is 8.3 × 10-17.
Concentration of Iodide ion in saturated solution of AgI = 9.12×10-9M
Explanation
The solubility equillibrium of AgI written as follows
AgI(s) <--------> Ag+ (aq) + I-(aq)
The equillibrium constant expression for this equillibrium is written as follows
Ksp = [Ag+] [I-]
Where,
[Ag+] = Molarity of Ag+ ions
[I-] = Molarity of I- ions
Ksp of AgI is 8.3×10-17M2
If we put solubility of AgI as S , then
[Ag+] = S
[I-] = S
Therefore,
(S)(S) = 8.3×10-17M2
S2 = 8.3 ×10-17M2
S = 9.12×10-9M
Therefore,
Concentration of Iodide ions in saturated solution of AgI = 9.12×10-9M
