Interpretation:
The solubility in grams per liter of AgBr(s) in 0.200 M KBr and0.200 M NH3 should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Solubility is defined as the maximum quantity of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent to make a saturated solution at a particular temperature.
Molar solubility is the number of moles of a solute that can be dissolved in one liter of a solution. It is expressed as mol/L or M (molarity).
Consider a general reaction:
MnXm(s)⇌nMm+(aq)+mXn+(aq)
The relation between solubility product and molar solubility is as follows:
Ksp=[Mm+]n[Xn-]m
Here
The solubility product of salt is Ksp.
The molar solubility of Mm+ ion is [Mm+]
The molar solubility of Xn- ion is [Xn-]

Answer to Problem 22.26P
The solubility in grams per liter of AgBr(s) is given as 4.1×10−4g L−1.
Explanation of Solution
The two applicable equations are given below:
AgBr(s)⇌Ag+(aq)+Br−(aq) Ksp=5.4×10−13 M2 (1)Ag+(aq)+2NH3⇌[Ag(NH3)]+2(aq) Kf=2.0×107 M−2 (2)
Addition of the both equation will give,
AgBr(s)+2NH3⇌[Ag(NH3)]+2(aq)+Br−(aq) (3) Kc=Ksp.Kf=5.4×10−13 M2×2.0×107 M−2=1.1×10−5
Since, Kc>>Ksp, equation (1) can be neglected and (3) can be used to form the concentration table.
AgBr(s)+ 2NH3⇌[Ag(NH3)]+2(aq)+Br−(aq)Initial 0.200 M 0 M 0.200MChange −2x +x +xEquilibrium 0.200 M−2x x 0.200 M+x
The expression for equilibrium constant is,
Kc=x(0.20 M+x)(0.20 M−2x)2=1.1×10−5x(0.20 M+x)(0.20 M)2=1.1×10−5 since x is so smallx=2.2×10−6
The concentration of Ag+ can be calculated as follows:
Kf=[Ag(NH3)]+2[Ag+][NH3]2=2.0×107 M−2 [Ag+]=[Ag(NH3)]+22.0×107 M−2[NH3]2=2.2×10−6 M2.0×107 M−2[0.2−(2×2.2×10−6) M]2[Ag+]=2.75×10−12 M
The total solubility of AgBr(s) can be calculated as follows:
s=[Ag+]+[Ag(NH3)]+2=2.75×10−12 M+2.2×10−6 Ms=2.2×10−6 M
Therefore, the solubility of AgBr(s) in grams per liter is given below:
s= 2.2×10−6 mol.L−1(187.77g1 mol AgBr)s=4.1×10−4g L−1
The solubility in grams per liter of AgBr(s) is calculated to be 4.1×10−4g L−1.
