TOPIC: Equilibrium constant for slightly soluble salts
KIO3 K+ + IO3-
0.005 0.005 0.005
[Pb2+] = X
[IO3-]total = 2X from Pb(IO3)2 + 0.005 from KIO3
Ksp = [Pb2+] [IO3-]2
= X (2X + 0.005)2
Because 0.005 >>> 2X due to the presence of soluble IO3- then (2X) can be neglected.
Ksp = X (0.005)2
Ksp 2.6 x 10-13
X= = = 1 x 10-8 mol/L = [Pb2+]
(0.005)2 2.5 x 10-5
Ex:
Adding Ba(IO3)2 for 0.02 M solution of Ba(NO3)2 , calculate the
Here because there is another source of Ba2+ [Ba(IO3)2 & Ba(NO3)2] so we cannot direct related
the solubility to [Ba2+] ,but [IO3-]
[Ba2+]total = [Ba2+]from Ba(NO3)2 + [Ba2+]from Ba(IO3)2
[Ba2+]total = 0.02 from Ba(NO3)2 + ½[IO3-] from Ba(IO3)2
Ksp = [Ba2+] [IO3-]2
= (0.02 + ½[IO3-]) [IO3-]2
Because 0.02 >>> ½[IO3-] then (½[IO3-]) can be neglected.
Ksp = 0.02 x [IO3-]2
