6-2.Equilibrium-II (Ionic Equilibrium)
medium
The expression for solubility product of mercurous iodide $(Hg_2I_2)$ is
A
$[2Hg^+]^2 [I^-]^2$
B
$[Hg^+]^2 [I^-]^2$
C
$[Hg^{+2}]^2 [I^-]^2$
D
$[Hg_2^{+2}] [I^-]^2$
Solution
Explanation :
Solubility product constant : It is defined as the product of the concentration of the ions present in a solution raised to the power by its stoichiometric coefficient in a solution of a salt. This takes place at equilibrium only. The solubility product constant is represented as, .
The dissociation of mercury(i) iodide is written as:
The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,
Therefore, the solubility product expression is
