Solubility Equilibria

End of Chapter 16

Solubility Equilibria
AgCl (s) Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-] MgF2 (s) Ag2CO3 (s) Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

Ksp is the solubility product constant Ksp = [Mg2+][F-]2 Ksp = [Ag+]2[CO32-]

Mg2+ (aq) + 2F- (aq) 2Ag+ (aq) + CO32- (aq)

Ca3(PO4)2 (s)

3Ca2+ (aq) + 2PO43- (aq)

Ksp = [Ca2+]3[PO33-]2

Dissolution of an ionic solid in aqueous solution: Q < Ksp Unsaturated solution

Molar solubility (mol/L) is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 L of a saturated solution. Solubility (g/L) is the number of grams of solute dissolved in 1 L of a saturated solution.

Change (M) Equilibrium (M)

Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) 0.00 0.00 +s s [Cl-] = 1.3 x 10-5 M +s s

Ksp = 1.6 x 10-10

Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-] Ksp = s2


s = Ksp s = 1.3 x 10-5

[Ag+] = 1.3 x 10-5 M

If 2.00 mL of 0.200 M NaOH are added to 1.00 L of 0.100 M CaCl2, will a precipitate form? The ions present in solution are Na+, OH-, Ca2+, Cl-. Only possible precipitate is Ca(OH)2 (solubility rules). Is Q > Ksp for Ca(OH)2? [Ca2+]0 = 0.100 M [OH-]0 = 4.0 x 10-4 M

2 Q = [Ca2+]0[OH-]0 = 0.10 x (4.0 x 10-4)2 = 1.6 x 10-8

Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]2 = 8.0 x 10-6

Q < Ksp

No precipitate will form
