Question

The solubility product for an insoluble salt with the formula MX4 is written as ________, where s is the molar solubility. Select one: a. Ksp

Answer 1

Answer:

Ksp = 256(s)⁵

Explanation:

The given insoluble salt dissolves as:

$MX4 <-----> M4+ \ \ \ \ \ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4X -$

                                     s                          4s

The solubility product is the product of individual solubilities of the cation and anion of a salt.

$Ksp = [M4+][X^-]^4$

$Ksp = [s][4s]^4$

Ksp = 256(s)⁵
