General Chemistry 2: Solubility Product

By experiment, it is found that of 6.2 x 1012^{-12} moles of Pb3_3(PO4_4)2_2 dissolves in 1 L of aqueous solution at 25^\circC. What is the solubility product constant, Ksp_{sp}, at this temperature?

The solubility of Ce(IO3_3)3_3 in a 0.20 M KIO3_3 solution is 4.4 x 108^{-8} mol/L. Calculate Ksp_{sp} for Ce(IO3_3)3_3.

Calculate the concentrations of Ag+^+, Ag(S2_2O3_3)^-, and Ag(S2_2O3_3)23_2^{3-} in a solution prepared by mixing 150.0 mL of 1.00 x 103^{-3} M AgNO3_3 with 200.0 mL of 5.00 M Na2_2S2_2O3_3. The stepwise formation equilibria are:

Ag+^+ + S2_2O32_3^{2-} \leftrightharpoons Ag(S2_2O3_3)^- Kf1_{f1} = 7.4 x 108^{8}

Ag(S2_2O3_3)^- + S2_2O32_3^{2-} \leftrightharpoons Ag(S2_2O3_3)23_2^{3-} Kf2_{f2} = 3.9 x 104^{4}
