A generic salt, AB2, has a molar mass of 169 g/mol and a solubility of 1.60 g/L at 25
Given: molar mass of AB2 = 169 g/mole
Solubility of AB2 is 1.60 g/L = (1.6 / 169) mol/L = 0.00946 M
Required: Calculate the Ksp for AB2
Solution:
1. Write Equation: AB2 (s) A2+ (aq) +2B- (aq)
2. ICE chart Initial Conc. - 0 0
Change - +0.00946 +2(0.00946 )
Equilibrium - 0.00946 0.01892
3. Calculate Ksp
Ksp = [A2+][B-]2
Ksp = [0.00946][0.01892]2
Ksp = 3.386 X 10-6
