Solubility from Ks
Calculate the solubility, in g L-1, of CaCO3, given
Ks(CaCO3) = 5 × 10-9. M(CaCO3) = 100 g mol–1.
1 Write the equilibrium equation.
2 Write the expression for Ks.
Ks = [Ca2+][CO32–]
3 Write the concentrations of each ion present at equilibrium, using the symbol s to represent the solubility of this substance in mol L-1
[Ca2+] = s [CO32–] = s
4 Rewrite the expression for Ks using these concentrations.
Ks = [Ca2+][CO32–]
= s 2
5 Use the value for Ks to calculate the value of s.
6 Convert the solubility from mol L–1 into g L–1.
Calculate the solubility, in g per 100 mL, of PbI2, given
Ks(PbI2) = 1 × 10-9. M(PbI2) = 461 g mol–1.1 Write the equilibrium equation.
2 Write the expression for Ks.
Ks = [Pb2+][I–]2
3 Write the concentrations of each ion present at equilibrium, using the symbol s to represent the solubility of this substance in mol L-1
[Pb2+] = s [I–] = 2s
4 Rewrite the expression for Ks using these concentrations.
Ks = [Pb2+][I–]2
= (s)(2s)2
= 4s3
5 Use the value for Ks to calculate the value of s.
6 Convert the solubility from mol L–1 to g L–1 and then g per 100 mL.
s = 6.3 × 10–4 mol L–1
s = 6.3 × 10–4 mol L–1 × 461 g mol–1
= 0.29 g L–1
= 0.029 g per 100 mL
