Concept introduction:
The amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature is termed as solubility of the solute in the solvent at that temperature. Number of moles of solute dissolved in per litre of solution is called molar solubility.
The solubility product of the sparingly soluble salt is given as the product of the concentration of ions raise to the power equal to the number of times the ion occurs in the equation after the dissociation of electrolyte.
The presence of common ions in the solution decreases the solubility of a given compound.
For a general reaction:
The solubility product can be calculated by the expression as:

- The Ksp for Q, a slightly soluble ionic compound composed of M22+ and X ions, is 4.5 1029. The electron configuration of M+ is [Xe]6s14f145d10. The X anion has 54 electrons. What is the molar solubility of Q in a solution of NaX prepared by dissolving 1.98 g NaX in 150. mL solution?arrow_forwardA solution is made up by adding 0.839 g of silver(I) nitrate and 1.024 g of lead(II) nitrate to enough water to make 492 mL of solution. Solid sodium chromate, Na2CrO4, is added without changing the volume of the solution. (a) Which salt will precipitate first, Ag2CrO4 or PbCrO4? (b) What is the concentration of the chromate ion when the first salt starts to precipitate?arrow_forwardSolubility is an equilibrium position, whereas Ksp is an equilibrium constant. Explain the difference.arrow_forward
- You have a solution that has a lead(II) ion concentration of 0.0012 M. If enough soluble chloride-containing salt is added so that the Cl concentration is 0.010 M, will PbCl2 precipitate?arrow_forwardA solution is made up by adding 0.632 g of barium nitrate and 0.920 g of lanthanum nitrate, to La(NO3)3 enough water to make 0.500 L of solution. Solid sodium iodate, NalO3, is added (without volume change) to the solution. (a) Which salt will precipitate first? La(IO3)3 (Ksp=7.501012) or BAIO3 (Ksp=4.0109)?

(b) CaCO3. (c) Ag2SO4. (d) Pb(OH)2arrow_forward
- The Ksp value for radium sulfate, RaSO4, is 4.2 1011. If 25 mg of radium sulfate is placed in 1.00 102 mL of water, does all of it dissolve? If not, how much dissolves?arrow_forwardTo what reaction does the solubility product constant, Ksp, refer? Table 15-1 lists Ksp values for several ionic solids. For any of these ionic compounds, you should be able to calculate the solubility. What is the solubility of a salt, and what procedures do you follow to calculate the solubility of a salt? How would you calculate the Ksp value for a salt given the solubility?arrow_forward
