Answer:
2.8x10⁻¹⁵ M.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the dissociation reaction for silver phosphate is:
[tex]Ag_3PO_4(s)\rightleftharpoons 3Ag^+(aq)+PO_4(aq)[/tex]
Therefore, the equilibrium expression is:
[tex]Ksp=[Ag^+]^3[PO_4^-][/tex]
In such a way, since the initial solution contains an initial concentration of silver ions (from silver nitrate) of 0.10M, we can write the equilibrium expression in terms of the reaction extent [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]2.8x10^{-18}=(0.10+3x)^3*(x)[/tex]
Thus, solving for [tex]x[/tex] we have:
[tex]x=2.8x10^{-15}M[/tex]
Thus, the molar solubility of silver phosphate is 2.8x10⁻¹⁵ M.
Regards.
