--Ksp-- AP Chemistry *delete me*!!!!!!! Please ASAP
« on: February 12, 2007, 11:03:33 PM »
I am doing some practice problems and cannot figure out the first question please help... Here it is:
MgF2(arrows going both ways) Mg + 2 F
In a saturated solution of MgF2 at 18 degrees Celsius, the concentration of Mg is 1.21 X 10 ^ -3 molar.  The equilibrium is represented by the equation above.
 
Question #1)
Write the expression for the solubility-product constant Ksp and calculate its value at 18 degrees Celsius.

Read the forum rules, you must attempt the question.

You are asked to start by writing an expression for the solubility product - do it. If you don't know how, it's in your textbook. Your equilibrium equation needs charges too.
My research: Google Scholar and Researchgate

Wride down correctly a reaction of solubility process, ie:
PbI2 => Pb2+ + 2I-
then calculate a concentration of  anion. Put concentrations of ction and anion into a proper Ksp equation
