Calculate the concentration (in M) of Ag+ when AgIO3 just begins to precipitate from a solution that is 0.0275 M in IO3−. (Ksp = 3.17 ✕ 10−8)
Solubility product of AgIO3 ,Ksp = 3.17 x 10-8
Precipitaion starts when just the product of the available concentrations of the ions of that compound just exceed the solubility product value of the compound.
Given concentration of IO3- = 0.0275M
AgIO3 Ag+ + IO3-
Ksp = [Ag+ ] [ IO3-]
3.17 x 10-8 = [Ag+ ] 0.0275M
concentration of Ag+ for precipitation of the given compound = 3.17 x 10-8 / 0.0275M
= 1.1527 x 10-6 M
