Question

The solubility product of silver chromate, Ag2CrO4, is Ksp = 4.0 x 10^-12 at 298 K. Calculate the molar solubility (in mol L^-1) of Ag2CrO4 in pure water. Give the answer in scientific form, rounded to the appropriate value.

Step-by-step solution

Let molar solubility = s.
Ag2CrO4 -> 2Ag+ + CrO4^2-, so [Ag+] = 2s and [CrO4^2-] = s.
Ksp = (2s)^2 (s) = 4s^3 = 4.0e-12.
Thus s^3 = 1.0e-12, giving s = 1.0e-4 mol L^-1.

Final answer1e-4
