Solution

The solubility product, Ksp, applies in situations where salts do not fully dissolve in a solvent. The solvent is generally water. A substance's solubility product is the mathematical product of its dissolved ion concentrations raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.
Applying law of solubility products
KSP=[A3+]2[X2]3(1)
1.1×1023=(2S)2(3S)3
1.1×1023=(108S)5
(S)5=1×1025
(S)=(1×1025)15
S=1×105mol1
