Question:
The stoichiometry and solubility product of a salt with the solubility curve given below is, respectively :
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
From the graph \& dimensions salt is : $\mathrm{XY}_{2}$
${[\mathrm{X}]=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} }$
${[\mathrm{Y}]=2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{M} }$
$\mathrm{XY}_{2}(\mathrm{~s}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{X}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Y}_{(\mathrm{aq} .)}^{-}$
$\mathrm{ksp}=\left[\mathrm{X}^{2+}\right]\left[\mathrm{Y}^{-}\right]^{2}$
$=\left(10^{-3}\right)\left(2 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}$
$=4 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{M}^{3}$
