Chapter 15, Problem 102E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ for ferricfluoride $\left({\text{FeF}}_3\right)$ is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The equilibrium expression for the chemical reaction that represents the dissolving of an ionic compound is termed as solubility – product constant $\left(K_{\text{sp}}\right)$.

The solubility of the compound can be measured with the help of $K_{\text{sp}}$.

If the value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ is large, it indicates that compound is very soluble.

If the value of $K_{\text{sp}}$ is small, it indicates that compound is not very soluble.

The units of molar solubility $\left(S\right)$ are moles per liter $\left(\text{mol}/\text{L}\right)$.
