Using the Gibbs' energy change, ΔG°=+63.3 kJ, for the following reaction, Ag2CO3(s)⇌2Ag(aq)++CO32-(aq)
the Ksp of Ag2CO3(s) in water at 25Co is (R=8.314 J K-1 mol-1) [2014]
(2)
ΔG°=-2.303RTlogKsp
63.3×103J=-2.303×8.314×298 logKsp
63.3×103J=-5705.84 logKsp
logKsp=-63.3×1035705.84=-11.09
Ksp=antilog(-11.09)=8.128×10-12
