Question
### Solubility and Formation Reactions

#### Problem Statement:
The following problem pertains to different sparingly soluble compounds and a complex ion:

- Silver bromide \( \text{AgBr(s)} \), solubility product \( K_{\text{sp}} = 5.0 \times 10^{-13} \)
- Mercury(I) bromide \( \text{Hg}_2\text{Br}_2(\text{s}) \), solubility product \( K_{\text{sp}} = 1.3 \times 10^{-22} \)
- Tetrathiosilver(II) ion \( [\text{Ag}(\text{S}_2\text{O}_3)_2]^{3-} \), formation constant \( K_f = 2.9 \times 10^{13} \)

##### A. Write the required chemical equations and expressions:

**(i) Write the reaction for dissolving \( \text{AgBr(s)} \) into its aqueous ions. Include state symbols.**

\[ \text{AgBr(s)} \rightarrow \text{Ag}^+(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \]

**(ii) Write the reaction for dissolving \( \text{Hg}_2\text{Br}_2(\text{s}) \) into its aqueous ions. Include state symbols. Hint: recall mercury forms a \( \text{Hg}_2^{2+} \) ion.**

\[ \text{Hg}_2\text{Br}_2(\text{s)} \rightarrow \text{Hg}_2^{2+}(\text{aq}) + 2\text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \]

**(iii) Write the formation constant expression \( (K_f) \) for the complex ion \( [\text{Ag}(\text{S}_2\text{O}_3)_2]^{3-} \).**

\[
K_f = \frac{ \left[ \text{Ag}(\text{S}_2\text{O}_3)_2^{3-} \right]}{ \left[ \text{Ag}^+ \right] \left[ \text{S}_2\text{O}_3^{2-} \right]^2 }
\]
