Question
**Determining the Solubility Product Constant (Ksp) for Mg(CN)₂**

The molar solubility of Mg(CN)₂ is given as 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ M at a certain temperature. Our objective is to determine the value of the solubility product constant (Ksp) for Mg(CN)₂.

**Guidance:**

Fill in the ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table to determine the concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium based on the given solubility.

### ICE Table

|                      | Mg(CN)₂(s) | ⇌ | Mg²⁺(aq) | + | 2 CN⁻(aq) |
|----------------------|------------|---|----------|---|-----------|
| **Initial (M)**      |            |   |          |   |           |
| **Change (M)**       |            |   |          |   |           |
| **Equilibrium (M)**  |            |   |          |   |           |

### Choices for Values

Below the table, several options are available for each entry in the table:

- **Initial (M):** Usually starts at 0 for product ions as the solid begins to dissolve.
- **Change (M):** Indicated by typical chemical equilibrium terms such as ±x, 1.4 × 10⁻⁵, or 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ ± x.
- **Equilibrium (M):** Final concentrations are computed based on the changes that occurred.

Utilize these values to adequately fill the table and compute Ksp using the relation:

\[ K_{sp} = [\text{Mg}^{2+}][\text{CN}^-]^2 \]

This setup guides the calculations required to find the equilibrium concentrations and support the derivation of Ksp.

**Question 19 of 25**

The molar solubility of Mg(CN)₂ is \(1.4 \times 10^{-5}\) M at a certain temperature. Determine the value of Ksp for Mg(CN)₂.

**Instructions:**

Based on the setup of your ICE table, construct the expression for Ksp and then evaluate it. Do not combine or simplify terms.

\[ K_{sp} = \, \text{[          ]} = \, \text{[          ]} \]

**Available Options:**

- \([0]\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5}]\)
- \([2.8 \times 10^{-5}]\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5}]^2\)
- \([2.8 \times 10^{-5}]^2\)
- \([x]\)
- \([2x]^2\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5} + x]\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5} - x]\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5} - 2x]\)
- \([1.4 \times 10^{-5} + x]^2\)
- \([2.8 \times 10^{-5} - x]\)
- \([2.8 \times 10^{-5} + 2x]\)

**Expression Options:**

- \(2.7 \times 10^{-15}\)
- \(1.1 \times 10^{-14}\)
- \(2.2 \times 10^{-14}\)
- \(3.9 \times 10^{-10}\)
