Answer:
Ksp = 7.4x10⁻⁷
Explanation:
Molar solubility of a substance is defined as the amount of moles of that can be dissolved per liter of solution.
Ksp of Zn(OH)₂ is:
Zn(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2OH⁻
Ksp = [Zn²⁺] [OH⁻]²
And the molar solubility, X, is:
Zn(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2OH⁻
⇄ X + 2X
Because X are moles of substance dissolved.
Ksp = [X] [2X]²
Ksp = 4X³
As molar solubility, X, is 5.7x10⁻³mol/L:
Ksp = 4X³
Ksp = 4 (5.7x10⁻³mol/L)³
Ksp = 7.4x10⁻⁷
