What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver iodide at 25 oc given a ksp value of 8.0 x 10-17. write using scientific notation and use 1 or 2 decimal places (even though this is strictly incorrect!)?
Ksp = [Ag⁺] [I⁻] 8.0 *10⁻¹⁷ = [Ag⁺] [I⁻] Both [Ag⁺] and [I⁻] are equal and called molar solubility so Ksp = S . S = S² S = [tex] \sqrt{Ksp} = \sqrt{8.0 x 10^{-17} } [/tex] = 8.94 x 10⁻⁹ mole/liter
