Question

If the solubility product of CuS is 6 × 10−16, calculate the maximum molarity of CuS in aqueous solution.

Open in App
Solution

Solubility product of CuS, Ksp = 6 × 10−16

Let s be the solubility of CuS in mol L−1.

Now,

= s × s

= s2

Then, we have, Ksp =

= 2.45 × 10−8 mol L−1

Hence, the maximum molarity of CuS in an aqueous solution is 2.45 × 10−8 mol L−1.
