Solution

(1) Silver chromate:

Ag2CrO42Ag++CrO24
Then,
Ksp=[Ag+]2[CrO24]
Let the solubility of Ag2CrO4 be s.
[Ag+]2[CrO24]=s
Then,
Ksp=(2s)2.s=4s31.1×1012=4s3.275×1012=s3s=0.65×104M
Molarity ofAg+=2s=2×0.65×104=1.30×104MMolarity ofCrO24=s=0.65×104M

(2) Barium chromate:
BaCrO4Ba2++CrO24
Then, Ksp=[Ba2+][CrO24]
Let the solubility of BaCRO4. be s.
So, [Ba2+]=s and [CrO24]=s Ksp=s21.2×1010=s2s=1.09×105M
Molarity of Ba2+ =Molarity if CrO24=s=1.09×105M

(3) Ferric hydroxide:
Fe(OH)3Fe2++3PH
Ksp=[Fe2+][OH]3
Let s be the solubility of Fe(OH)3.
Thus, [Fe3+]=s and [OH]=3s Ksp=s.(3s)3=s.27s3Ksp=27s41.0×1038=27s4.037×1038=s4.00037×1036=s41.39×1010M=S
Molarity of Fe3+=s=1.39×1010M
Molarity of OH=3s=4.17×1010M

(4) Lead chloride:
PbCL2Pb2++2ClKSP=[Pb2+][Cl]2
Let KSP be the solubility of PbCl2
[Pb2+]=s and [Cl]=2s
Thus, Ksp=2.(2s)2
=4s31.6×105=4s30.4×105=s34×106=s31.58×102M=S.1
Molarity of Pb2=s=1.58×102M
Molarity of chloride =2s=3.16×102M

(5) Mercurous iodide:
Hg2l2Hg2++2lKsp=[Hg2+2]2[I]2
Let s be the solubility of Hg2I2.
[Hg2+2]=s and [I]=2s
Thus, Ksp=s(2s)2Kxp=4s34.5×1029=4s31.125×1029=s3s=2.24×1010M
Molarity of Hg2+2=s=2.24×1010M
Molarity of I=2s=4.48×1010M
