Consider the reaction X mc022-1.jpg Y + 2Z . If the molar solubility of X is multiplied by 2, the value of Ksp will be multiplied by

Respuesta :

X -> Y + 2Z

So there are 2 different particles. 1 mol of X produces 1 mol of Y and 2 moles of Z.

Kps = [Y] [Z]^2

We will call “s” (solubility) the molarity of X

So the molarity of Y+ is also “s” (same number)

And the molarity of Z is “2s” (twice as much)

Kps = s*(2s)^2 = s*4s^2=4s^3

If s is multiplied by 2:

Kps = 4*(2s)^3=4*2^3*s^3=4*8*s^3

So Kps is multiplied by 8.
