In a saturated solution of the sparingly soluble strong electrolyte AgIO3 ( molecular mass = 283 ) the equilibrium which sets in is
AgIO 3 s Ag + aq + IO 3 aq
If the solubility product constant Ksp of AgIO3 at a given temperature is 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 8 , what is the mass of AgIO3 contained in 100 ml of its saturated solution ?

Options:
  • A 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 4 g
  • B 2 8 · 3 × 1 0 - 2 g
  • C 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 7 g
  • D 2 · 8 3 × 1 0 - 3 g

The correct answer is: 2 · 8 3 × 1 0 - 3 g
AgIO 3 Ag + + IO 3 -  [ S = Solubility ]

                 S         S
  Ksp = S2

Or,  S 2 = 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 8

S  = 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 4 mol / it

    = 1 · 0 × 1 0 - 4 × 2 8 3 g / lit

   = 2 8 · 3 × 1 0 - 4 gm / 100 ml

= 2 · 8 3 × 1 0 - 3 gm / 100 ml
