Identify the dissolution equation for Ag_2SO_3: Ag_2SO_3(s) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2Ag^+(aq) + SO_3^{2-}(aq).
Determine the relationship between molar solubility and ion concentrations: If the molar solubility of Ag_2SO_3 is s, then [Ag^+] = 2s and [SO_3^{2-}] = s.
Substitute the given molar solubility into the expressions for ion concentrations: [Ag^+] = 2(1.55 \(\times\) 10^{-5}) M and [SO_3^{2-}] = 1.55 \(\times\) 10^{-5} M.
Write the expression for the solubility product constant, K_{sp}: K_{sp} = [Ag^+]^2[SO_3^{2-}].
Substitute the ion concentrations into the K_{sp} expression and simplify: K_{sp} = (2 \(\times\) 1.55 \(\times\) 10^{-5})^2 \(\times\) (1.55 \(\times\) 10^{-5}).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Molar Solubility

Molar solubility is the number of moles of a solute that can dissolve in one liter of solution at a given temperature. It is a crucial measure in determining how much of a compound can be present in a saturated solution. In this context, the molar solubility of Ag₂SO₃ is given as 1.55×10⁻⁵ M, which indicates the maximum concentration of the compound that can dissolve in water.

Solubility Product Constant (Ksp)

The solubility product constant, Ksp, is an equilibrium constant that applies to the solubility of ionic compounds. It is defined as the product of the molar concentrations of the ions, each raised to the power of their coefficients in the balanced equation. For Ag₂SO₃, Ksp can be calculated using the molar solubility to find the concentrations of Ag⁺ and SO₃²⁻ ions in a saturated solution.

Dissociation of Ionic Compounds

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into their constituent ions. For Ag₂SO₃, the dissociation can be represented as Ag₂SO₃(s) ⇌ 2Ag⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq). Understanding this dissociation is essential for calculating Ksp, as it allows us to relate the molar solubility to the concentrations of the ions produced in solution.
