The relationship between the molar concentration of silver ion in a saturated solution of silver phosphate and the solubility product constant for silver phosphate is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) dissociates into 3 Ag+ and 1 PO4^3-. The solubility product expression is Ksp = [Ag+]^3[PO4^3-]. If [Ag+] = x, then [PO4^3-] = x/3. Substituting these into the Ksp expression gives Ksp = (x)^3(x/3) = 27[Ag+]^4.
