M3A2M_3 A_2 is a sparingly soluble salt of molar mass yy g mol−1^{-1} and solubility xx g L−1^{-1}. The ratio of the molar concentration of the anion (A3−A^{3-}) to the solubility product of the salt is

Options

  1. A154⋅y4x4\dfrac{1}{54} \cdot \dfrac{y^4}{x^4}
  2. By5108x4\dfrac{y^5}{108 x^4}
  3. C108⋅x5y5108 \cdot \dfrac{x^5}{y^5}
  4. D1108⋅y4x4\dfrac{1}{108} \cdot \dfrac{y^4}{x^4}

Correct answer

A. 154⋅y4x4\dfrac{1}{54} \cdot \dfrac{y^4}{x^4}

Step-by-step solution

The molar solubility SS of the salt is given by S=xyS = \dfrac{x}{y} mol L−1^{-1}.

The dissociation of the sparingly soluble salt M3A2M_3A_2 is:

M3A2⇌3M2++2A3−M_3A_2 \rightleftharpoons 3M^{2+} + 2A^{3-}

The molar concentration of the anion A3−A^{3-} is:

[A3−]=2S[A^{3-}] = 2S

The solubility product KspK_{sp} of the salt is:

Ksp=[M2+]3[A3−]2=(3S)3(2S)2=27S3×4S2=108S5K_{sp} = [M^{2+}]^3 [A^{3-}]^2 = (3S)^3 (2S)^2 = 27S^3 \times 4S^2 = 108S^5

The ratio of the molar concentration of the anion to the solubility product is:

[A3−]Ksp=2S108S5=154S4\dfrac{[A^{3-}]}{K_{sp}} = \dfrac{2S}{108S^5} = \dfrac{1}{54S^4}

Substituting S=xyS = \dfrac{x}{y} into the expression, we get:

Ratio=154(xy)4=154⋅y4x4\text{Ratio} = \dfrac{1}{54 \left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^4} = \dfrac{1}{54} \cdot \dfrac{y^4}{x^4}

Answer: 154⋅y4x4\dfrac{1}{54} \cdot \dfrac{y^4}{x^4}
