Question

The solubility product for an insoluble salt with the formula MX4 is written as ________, where s is the molar solubility. Select one: a. Ksp

Answer 1

Ksp = 256(s)⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

The given insoluble salt dissolves as:

`MX4 <-----> M4+ \ \ \ \ \ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 4X -`

s 4s

The solubility product is the product of individual solubilities of the cation and anion of a salt.

`Ksp = [M4+][X^-]^4`

`Ksp = [s][4s]^4`

Ksp = 256(s)⁵
