Question

Two hypothetical salts, LM₂ and LQ, have the same molar solubility in H₂O. If Ksp for LM₂ is 3.20 × 10⁻⁵, what is the Ksp value for LQ?

a) 3.20 × 10⁻⁵
b) 6.40 × 10⁻⁵
c) 9.60 × 10⁻⁵
d) 1.28 × 10⁻⁴

Answer 1

The Ksp value for LQ is 3.20 × 10⁻⁵.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Ksp value for LQ, we need to use the fact that LM2 and LQ have the same molar solubility in H2O. This means that their Ksp values will be equal.

Given that the Ksp value for LM2 is 3.20 × 10-5, the Ksp value for LQ will also be 3.20 × 10-5.
