Assuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the molar solubility of each of the following from its solubility product:

\(\begin{array}{l}(a)KH{C_4}{H_4}{O_6}\\(b)Pb{I_2}\\(c)A{g_4}\left[ {Fe{{(CN)}_6}} \right],a salt containing the Fe{(CN)_4}^ - ion\\(d)H{g_2}{I_2}\end{array}\)

The solubility product constant represented as Ksp can be defined as state in which a solid and its respective ions in given solution are in equilibrium. Its value indicates the extent to which a compound can undergo dissociation in water.

 Step 4: the following salts is the most soluble, in terms of moles per liter, in pure water:  

Solubility product of \({{\rm{K}}_{{\rm{sp}}}}\left( {{\rm{H}}{{\rm{g}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{I}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right)\;{\rm{ = }}\;{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 29}}}}\)from Ksp table

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\rm{K}}_{{\rm{sp}}}}\left( {{\rm{H}}{{\rm{g}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{I}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right)\;{\rm{ = }}\;{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 29}}}}\\{{\rm{K}}_{{\rm{sp}}}}{\rm{ = }}\left[ {{\rm{H}}{{\rm{g}}^{{\rm{2 + }}}}} \right]{\left[ {{{\rm{I}}^{\rm{ - }}}} \right]^{\rm{2}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\;{\rm{x}}\; \times {\rm{4}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}\;{\rm{4}}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{3}}}\\{\rm{x}}\;{\rm{ = }}\;\sqrt[{\rm{3}}]{{{{\rm{K}}_{{\rm{sp}}}}{\rm{ \div 4}}}}\\{\rm{x}}\;{\rm{ = }}\;\sqrt[{\rm{3}}]{{{\rm{4}}{\rm{.5 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 29}}}}{\rm{ \div 4}}}}\\{\rm{x}}\;{\rm{ = }}\;{\rm{2}}{\rm{.2 \times 1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{ - 10}}}}{\rm{M}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the solubility product of the salts are sorted out.
