DATA AND RESULTS
1. Write the chemical equilibrium equation for the dissociation of the following solids and the
corresponding Ksp expression.:
Solid Chemical Equilibrium Equation Ksp Expression
Silver chloride AgCl(s) ⇌ Ag+(aq)+Cl-(aq) Ksp= [Ag+] [ Cl-]
Strontium sulfate SrSO4(s) ⇌ Sr2+(aq) + SO42−(aq) Ksp= [ Sr2+] [ SO42−]
Silver carbonate Ag2CO3(s) ⇌ Ag+(S) + CO3-2 (aq) Ksp= [Ag+] [CO3-2]
Strontium iodate Sr (IO3)2 (s) + H2O(l) ⇌ Sr2+(aq) + 2IO3 - (aq) Ksp= [Sr2+] [IO3]2
2. Calculate the Ksp of the given solids (Use information from the Virtual Lab)
Salt Molar Concentrations Ksp
[Ag+] = 1.33x10-5
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
Silver chloride Ksp = (1.33x10-5) (1.33x10-5)
[Cl ] = 1.33x10
- -5
Ksp = 1.77 x10-10
[SO4-2] = 5.84 x 10-4
Ksp = [SO4-2] [Sr+2]
Strontium sulfate [Sr+2] = 5.84 x 10-4 Ksp = (5.84 x 10-4) (5.84x10-4)
Ksp = 3.41 x10-7
[Ag+] = 2.56 x 10-4
Ksp = [Ag+] [CO3-2]
Silver carbonate Ksp = (2.56 x 10-4) (1.28 x 10-4)
[CO3 ] = 1.28 x10
-2 -4
Ksp = 3.28 x 10-3
[Sr+2] = 4.39 x 10-3
Ksp = [Sr+2] [IO3-]2
Strontium iodate [IO3-] = 8.79 x 10-3 Ksp = (4.39 x 10-3) (8.79 x 10-3)2
Ksp = 3.39 x 10-7
Discussion/Interpretation of Data/Results
EXERCISES
1. Write the Ksp expression of the following salts: Mg(OH) 2; Cu(IO3)2; Ag2CrO4 and look for the
accepted Ksp value for each.
a. Mg(OH)2
Dissociation: Mg(OH)2(s) ↔ Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq)
Ksp = [Mg+2][OH-]2
Accepted Ksp value of Mg(OH)2 =1.8 × 10-11
b. Cu(IO3)2
Dissociation: Cu(IO3)2 ↔ Cu+2 (aq) + 2 IO3- (aq)
Ksp = [Cu+2][IO3-]2
Accepted Ksp value of Cu(IO3)2 = 6.47 × 10-6
c. Ag2CrO4
Dissociation: Ag2CrO4(s) ↔ 2 Ag+ (aq) + CrO42- (aq)
Ksp = [Ag+]2[CrO42-]
Accepted Ksp value of Ag2CrO4 = 1.12 × 10-12
2. The solubility of lead (II) fluoride is found experimentally to be 0.533 g/L. Calculate the Ksp for
lead (II) fluoride. (Molar Mass = 245.20 g/mol)
Given:
solubility of PbF2 = 0.533 g/L
molar mass = 245.20 g/mol
Ksp of PbF2 = ?
−¿ (aq ) K sp=¿¿
2+¿ ( aq ) +2 F ¿
Pb F 2 ( s ) ⇆ Pb
Solution:
0.533 g 1 mol
× =2.17 ×10−3 M
L 245.20 g
K sp =( 2.17 ×10 ) ( 4.35 ×10 ) =4.11 ×10
−3 −3 −8
−8
K sp =4.11 ×10
3. Using the accepted value for the Ksp of AgCl at 25oC, calculate the concentration in mole per
liter of Ag+ in a saturated solution of the salt.
Dissociation: AgCl(s) Ag(aq) + +_ Cl(aq) –
Ksp= [Ag+][Cl-]
Accepted Ksp value: 1.8 x 10-10
1.8 x 10-10 = [Ag+][Cl-]
1.8 x 10-10 = (x) (x)
1.8 x 10-10 = x2
X √ 1.8 x 10
−10
[Ag+][Cl-] x =1.34 x 10-5 M
[Ag+] = x = 1.34 x 10-5 M
