Question
**Solubility and Ksp Calculation: Ni₃(PO₄)₂**

The solubility of Ni₃(PO₄)₂ in water at a specific temperature is given as 8.0 × 10⁻⁴ M. To find the solubility product constant (Ksp) for Ni₃(PO₄)₂, we can utilize the solubility data.

### Explanation

**Question:**
The problem asks for the Ksp of Ni₃(PO₄)₂ given its solubility.

**Solution Displayed:**
The answer calculated is 5.6442 × 10⁻¹⁷.

### Steps to Calculate Ksp

1. **Dissociation Equation:**  
   Ni₃(PO₄)₂ ⇌ 3Ni²⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻

2. **Solubility Representation:**  
   Let the molar solubility of Ni₃(PO₄)₂ be 's'.  
   - [Ni²⁺] = 3s  
   - [PO₄³⁻] = 2s

3. **Expression for Ksp:**  
   Ksp = [Ni²⁺]³[PO₄³⁻]²  
   Ksp = (3s)³(2s)² = 27s³ × 4s² = 108s⁵

4. Substitute the given solubility:  
   - s = 8.0 × 10⁻⁴ M

5. Calculate Ksp:  
   - Ksp = 108 × (8.0 × 10⁻⁴)⁵ 
   - Ksp = 5.6442 × 10⁻¹⁷

This value of Ksp indicates the degree of saturation and the solubility equilibrium for Ni₃(PO₄)₂ in the solution at the given conditions.
