Answer:

S = 5.6 E-2 g / L

Explanation:

  • Ag2CO3 ⇔ 2Ag + CO3

⇒         S                 2S       S

⇒ Kps = 2S*S = 2S² = 8.4 E-12

⇒ S² = 8.4 E-12 / 2

⇒ S² = 4.2 E-12

⇒ S = √4.2 E-12

⇒ S = 2.05 E-6 mmol / mL

⇒ S = 2.05 E-6 mmol / mL * 0.001 mol / mmol * 275.7453 g Ag2CO3 / mol * 1000mL / L

⇒S = 5.651E-2 g / L
