(1) The solubility of Salt AB2(S) IS 5mol/dm^3. a. Obtain an expression for the solubility product of AB2(S),in terms of s.
b. Calculate the Ksp of AB2,given that solubility is 2.4x10^3mol/dm^3

a. Ksp = 4s³

b. 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

Explanation:

a. Obtain an expression for the solubility product of AB2(S),in terms of s.

AB₂ dissociates to give

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

Since 1 mole of AB₂ gives 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B, we have the mole ratio as

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

1 : 1 : 2

Since the solubility of AB₂ is s, then the solubility of A is s and that of B is 2s

So, we have

AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻

[s]        [s]    [2s]

So, the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]²

= (s)(2s)²

= s(4s²)

= 4s³

b. Calculate the Ksp of AB₂, given that solubility is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³

Given that the solubility of AB is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³ and the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]² = 4s³ where s = solubility of AB = 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³

Substituting the value of s into the equation, we have

Ksp = 4s³

= 4(2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³)³

= 4(13.824 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹)

= 55.296 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹

= 5.5296 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

≅ 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹

Ksp = 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
