Question

A saturated solution is formed when a salt is added to water until equilibrium is established between the undissolved salt and its ions in solution. This process can be represented by the equation: Ag2SO4(s)=2Ag(aq)+SO4^2-(aq) A saturated solution is formed when a salt is added to wat brium is established bet undissolved salt and its ions in solution. This process can be represented by the equation: Ag2so4(s) 2Ag+ (aq) so42- (aq) At a particular temperature, the concentration of silver ions in a saturated solution of silver sulfate is What equilibrium constant, Ksp, for this salt at this particular temperature Please record your answer to the correct number of significant figures. To enter x 10n, please use En. For example 1.23 x 105 should be entered as 1.23E-5 Submit Answer Tries 0/2

Explanation / Answer

concentration of Ag+ ions = 4.12 x 10^-2 M

concentration of SO42- = 4.12 x 10^-2 / 2 = 0.0206 M

Ag2SO4   --------------> 2 Ag+   + SO42-

Ksp = [Ag+]^2[SO42-]

      = (4.12 x 10^-2)^2 (0.0206)

     = 3.50 x 10^-5

Ksp = 3.50 x 10^-5
