Calculate the silver ion concentration in a saturated
solutionof silver (i) sulfate
(ksp = 1.4 x 10-5).

0.015 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the solution of silver (I) sulfate.

Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

In order to find the solubility (S) of silver (I) sulfate, we will use an ICE chart.

    Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

I                               0               0

C                            +2S           +S

E                               2S            S

The solubility product (Ksp) is:

Ksp = 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]².[SO₄²⁻] = (2S)².S = 4S³

S = 0.015 M

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
