Derive the value of solubility produce from molar solubility? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Solubility can be calculated from MOLAR stability. i.e, the maximum number of MOLES of the solute that can be dissolved in one litre of the solution. (ii) For a solute `X_m Y_n` `X_mY_n(s) LEFTRIGHTARROW mX^(n+)(aq)+nY^(m-) (aq)` From the above stoichiometricall BALANCED equation, it is clear that 1 mole of `X_m Y_n (s)` dissociated to furnish m moles of x and n moles of Y. If is the molar solubility of `X_m Y_n` then `[X^(n+)]=ms and [Y^(m-)]=ns` `therefore K_(sp)=[X^(n+)]^m [Y^(m-)]^n` `K_(sp)=(ms)^m (ns)^n` `K_(sp)=(m)^m (n)^n (s)^(m+n)` |
