A generic salt, AB2, has a molar mass of 189 g/mol and a solubility of 3.80 g/L at 25 °C. What is the Ksp of this salt at 25 °C?
Solubility in mol/L = 3.80/189 = 0.0201 mol/L
AB2 <=====> A2+ + 2B-
if solubility is "s" s s 2s
So, Ksp = [A2+][B-]2
Ksp = [s][s]2
Ksp = s3
Ksp = [0.0201]3
Ksp = 8.12 X 10-6
