Ag2CO3(s) ⇄ 2 Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) ... K = 4.5 ×10-12
Ksp = 4.5x10-12 = [Ag+]2[CO32-] =(2x)2(x)
4x3 = 4.5x10-12
x3 = 1.125x10-12
x = 1.04x10-4 M = molar solubility of Ag2CO3
Looking at 0.00025 mol Ag2CO3 in 5.00 L, we have 0.00025 mol/5.00 L = 5x10-5 M. This is below the solubility calculated, so all of it should dissolve, and there will be none of the solid Ag2CO3 left when the reaction reaches equilibrium.
