Question
The K_{sp of FeCO₃ is 3.1 × 10⁻¹¹. What is its solubility in water?
Explanation
Given:
The K_{sp of FeCO₃ is 3.1 × 10⁻¹¹. What is its solubility in water?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
FeCO₃(s) <=> Fe²+ + CO₃²-, K_{sp = S².
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
S² = 3.1 × 10⁻¹¹, S = sqrt3.1 × 10⁻¹¹approx 5.57 × 10⁻⁶M.
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
