Question

For each of the salts on the left, match the salts on the right that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities.

(If more than one salt on the right can be directly compared, include all the relevant salts by writing your answer as a string of characters without punctuation, e.g, ABC.)



Write the expression for K in terms of the solubility, s, for each salt, when dissolved in water.

silver sulfate

copper(II) carbonate

Ksp =

Ksp =

Note: Multiply out any number and put it first in the Ksp expression. Combine all exponents for s.

Write the expression for K in terms of the solubility, s, for each salt, when dissolved in water.

nickel(II) cyanide

calcium carbonate

Ksp =

Ksp =

Note: Multiply out any number and put it first in the Ksp expression. Combine all exponents for s.

1. silver sulfate                          A. PbI2 2. copper(II) carbonate B. CaCO3 C. CaCrO4 D. Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation / Answer

Silver sulfate = Ag2SO4, hence the value of Ksp = 4s^3, where s is the solubility of SO4(2-)

Hence the correct answer for silver sulfate will be PbI2

Copper II carbonate will be Cu(+2) + CO3(2-) it will be s^2, which will be similar to CaCO3

CaCrO4 will be similar to NaCl,KCl,MgO,CaO

Ca(3)(PO4)2 ---- Mg3(PO4)2, Ba3(PO4)2

Ksp of silver sulfate = (2s)^2*s = 4s^3

Ksp of CuCO3 = s^2

Nickel (II) Cyanide = Ni(CN)2, it will be also equal to 4s^3

CaCO3 will be equal to s^2 again
