Solubility product(KSP)
Question

In a saturated solution of the sparingly soluble strong electrolyte AgIO3 (molecular mass = 283) the equilibrium which sets is

AgIO3 s    Ag+ aq + IO3- aq

If the solubility product constant KSP  of AgIO3 at a given temperature is 1.0 × 10-8, what is the mass of AgIO3 contained in 100 mL of its saturated solution ?

Moderate
Solution

AgIO3 s    Ag+ aq + IO3- aq

Let the solubility of AgIO3 be S

KSP = Ag+  IO3- 1.0 ×  10-8 = S2 S = 10-4  mol/litre = 10-4 × 2831000 × 100 = 283 × 10-5 = 2.83 × 10-3 g/100 mL
