A very dilute saturated solution of a sparingly soluble salt `A_(3)B_(4)` has a vapour pressure of `20mm` of `Hg` at temperature T, while pure water exerts a pressure of `20.0126mm Hg` at the same temperature. Calculate the solubility product constant of `A_(3)B_(4)` at the same temperature. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `5.4 xx10^(-13)` `P_(s) = 20 P^(@) = 20.0126` `(P^(@)-P_(s))/(P^(@)) = (0.0126)/(20) = (n)/(n+N) =(n)/(N)` `("mole of solute")/("moles of" H_(2)O) = 0.0063` 1 mole `H_(2)O = 18g = 18 mL` `18 mL` solution `= 0.0063` mole `1L` solution `= (0.00063)/(18) xx 1000 = 0.35` mole/L Let solubility of salt `A_(3)B_(4)` is s then `7s = 0.035` `s = 0.005` mole/L `k_(sp) = 3^(3).4^(4) (s)^(7) = 27 xx 256 xx (0.005)^(7)` `k_(sp) = 5.4 xx 10^(-13)` |
