At 50oC, the solubility of silver chloride, AgCl, is 5.2 x 10-4 g/100 mL. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature.

5.2E-4 g/100 mL= 5.2E-3 g/L

(AgCl) in mols/L = (0.0052 g/143.3 g/mol) = 3.62E-5 M
................AgCl ==> Ag^+ + Cl^-
I.................solid.........0.........0
C...........3.62E-5....3.62E-5...3.62E-5
E...............solid.....3.62E-5...3.62E-5
Ksp = (Ag^+)(Cl^-)
Plug the E line into the Ksp expression and solve for ksp.

Did you know?

Did you know that the solubility of silver chloride, AgCl, at a temperature of 50oC is 5.2 x 10-4 g/100 mL? By using this information, we can calculate the Ksp (solubility product constant) at this temperature. Ksp is a measure of the equilibrium concentration of the ions in a saturated solution of a slightly soluble salt. It tells us how much of the solid can dissolve in water. Calculating Ksp involves multiplying the concentrations of the dissolved ions raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation. With the given solubility of AgCl, we can determine the concentrations of silver (Ag+) and chloride (Cl-) ions in the solution, plug them into the Ksp expression, and calculate the Ksp value.
