At 25 °C, only 0.0990 mol of the generic salt AB3 is soluble in 1.00 L of water. What is the Ksp of the salt at 25 °C? AB3(s)↽−−⇀A3+(aq)+3B−(aq)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the 0.0990 moles of the salt are soluble in 1.00 L of water only, we can infer that the molar solubility is 0.099 M. Next, since the dissociation of the salt is:

The concentrations of the A and B ions in the solution are:

Then, as the solubility product is defined as:

Due to the given dissociation, it turns out:

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
