Q.

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]

1 3.2×10-26  
2 8.0×10-12  
3 2.9×10-3  
4 7.9×10-2  

Ans.

(2)

ΔG°=-2.303RTlogKsp

63.3×103J=-2.303×8.314×298logKsp

63.3×103J=-5705.84logKsp

logKsp=-63.3×1035705.84=-11.09

Ksp=antilog(-11.09)=8.128×10-12
