Calculate the molar solubility of CuX Ksp = 1.27 x 10^-36 in each of the following.?
0.27M CuCl2 0.19M Na2X
See Answer 10 Add Answers0.27M CuCl2 0.19M Na2X
See Answer 10 Add Answers
CuX = Cu2+ + X2-
Ksp = [Cu2+] * [X2-]
for each mole of CuX that dissolves we get x mol of each of the anions and cations
Ksp = x^2 = 1.27 x 10 ^-36
x= 1.13 x 10 ^-18 moles of CuX per liter of pure water
if the solution has [Cu2+]= 0.27 M
Ksp becomes x ( x + 0.27)
as we can see above x is extremely small so can be ignored inside the brackets
0.27 x = 1.27 x 10^-36
x = 1.27 x 10^-36 / 0.27 = 4.70 x 10 ^-36 moles per liter
In 0.19M X2- we have
Ksp = 0.19x = 1.27 x 10^-36
x = 1.27 x 10^-36 / 0.19 = 6.68 x 10 ^-36 moles per liter
