Ag2CO3 , the silver ion concentration is 2.53×10−4 M and the carbonate ion concentration is 1.27×10−4 M. Calculate the solubility product, 𝐾sp , for Ag2CO3 .

Answer 1

Ag₂CO₃(s) <==> 2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃^2-(aq) .. dissolution reaction

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[CO₃^2-]

Ksp = (2.53x10^-4)²(1.27x10^-4)

Ksp = 8.13x10^-12
