Question

At 25 ∘C, the osmotic pressure of a solution of the salt XY is 39.9 torr . What is the solubility product of XY at 25 ∘C?

The value of Ksp is based on the concentrations of
the dissolved ions. The total ion concentration, M, can
be determined from the osmotic pressure, T, using the
equation
T = MRT
where R = 0.0821 L · atm/(mol · K) and T is the
Kelvin temperature.
Based on the stoichiometry of the salt dissociation
process, you can determine the concentrations of the
ions from the total ion concentration. Once you have
the total ion concentrations, substitute them into the
Ksp expression and calculate the numerical value of
Ksp-
