AB2AB2 has a molar solubility of 3.72×10−4 M3.72×10−4 M. What is the value of the solubility product constant for AB2AB2? Express your answer numerically.

Ksp = 2.06x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

For AB₂. solubility product constant, Ksp, is written as follows:

AB₂(s) ⇄ A²⁺ + 2Br⁻

Ksp = [A²⁺] [Br⁻]²

Molar solubility represents how many moles of AB₂ are soluble per liter of solution. and is obtained from Ksp:

AB₂(s) ⇄ A²⁺ + 2Br⁻

AB₂(s) ⇄ X + 2X

where X are moles that are soluble (Molar solubility)

Ksp = [X] [2X]²

As molar solubility of the salt is 3.72x10⁻⁴M:

Ksp = 4X³

Ksp = 4(3.72x10⁻⁴)³

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
