Question

Use the molar solubility 3.27×10−11m in pure water to calculate ksp for nis.

Answer 1

Ksp = 1.07x10⁻²¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Molar solubility is defined as moles of solute can be dissolved in 1L.

Ksp for NiS is defined as:

NiS(s) ⇄ Ni²⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ni²⁺] [S²⁻]

As molar solubility is 3.27x10⁻¹¹M, concentration of [Ni²⁺] and [S²⁻] is 3.27x10⁻¹¹M for both.

Replacing:

Ksp = [3.27x10⁻¹¹M] [3.27x10⁻¹¹M]

Ksp = 1.07x10⁻²¹
