The concentration of Ca2+ in a saturated solution of CaF2 is 2.1 × 10–4 M; therefore, that of F– is 4.2 × 10–4 M, that is, twice the concentration of $$\ce{Ca^{2+}}$$. 3 0 obj 5 0 obj Calculate the molar solubility of copper bromide. This relationship also facilitates finding the $$K_{sq}$$ of a slightly soluble solute from its solubility. We began the chapter with an informal discussion of how the mineral fluorite is formed. �!BP2����. Watch the recordings here on Youtube! Therefore, the molar solubility of $$\ce{CuBr}$$ is 7.9 × 10–5 M. Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The solubility product constant of copper(I) bromide is 6.3 × 10–9. What is the solubility product of fluorite?

The Ksp expressions in terms of s can be used to solve problems in which the Ksp is used to calculate the molar solubility as in the examples above. The relation between solubility and the solubility product constants is that one can be used to find the other.

Fluorite, \(\ce{CaF2}$$, is a slightly soluble solid that dissolves according to the equation: $\ce{CaF2}(s)⇌\ce{Ca^2+}(aq)+\ce{2F-}(aq)\nonumber$. The solubility (by which we usually mean the molar solubility) of a solid is expressed as the concentration of the "dissolved solid" in a saturated solution. The solubility product constant ($$K_{sp}$$) describes the equilibrium between a solid and its constituent ions in a solution. In a saturated solution that is in contact with solid Mg(OH)2, the concentration of Mg2+ is 3.7 × 10–5 M. What is the solubility product for Mg(OH)2? endobj First, write out the Ksp expression, then substitute in concentrations and solve for Ksp: $\ce{CaF2(s) <=> Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2F^{-}(aq)} \nonumber$.

However, this article discusses ionic compounds that are difficult to dissolve; they are considered "slightly soluble" or "almost insoluble." http://cnx.org/contents/85abf193-2bd...a7ac8df6@9.110, Quantitatively related $$K_{sp}$$ to solubility. Equilibrium is the state at which the concentrations of products and reactant are constant after the reaction has taken place. $\ce{Mg(OH)2}(s)⇌\ce{Mg^2+}(aq)+\ce{2OH-}(aq)\nonumber$, Determination of Molar Solubility from Ksp. We can determine the solubility product of a slightly soluble solid from that measure of its solubility at a given temperature and pressure, provided that the only significant reaction that occurs when the solid dissolves is its dissociation into solvated ions, that is, the only equilibrium involved is: $\ce{M}_p\ce{X}_q(s)⇌p\mathrm{M^{m+}}(aq)+q\mathrm{X^{n−}}(aq)$. The higher the $$K_{sp}$$, the more soluble the compound is. It is influenced by surroundings. First, write out the solubility product equilibrium constant expression: \begin{align*} K_\ce{sp} &=\ce{[Cu+][Br- ]} \\[4pt] 6.3×10^{−9} &=(x)(x)=x^2 \\[4pt] x&=\sqrt{(6.3×10^{−9})}=7.9×10^{−5} \end{align*}.

Considering the relation between solubility and $$K_{sp}$$ is important when describing the solubility of slightly ionic compounds. Molar solubility can then be converted to solubility. 2 0 obj The value of the constant identifies the degree to which the compound can dissociate in water.
