The solubility product of Bi₂S₃ is 1.0 × 10⁻⁹⁷. What is its solubility in water?
Given: The solubility product of Bi₂S₃ is 1.0 × 10⁻⁹⁷. What is its solubility in water? Formula: Bi₂S₃(s) 2Bi³+ + 3S²-, K_{sp = (2S)² · (3S)³ = 108S⁵. Substitution & Calculation: 108S⁵ = 1.0 × 10⁻⁹⁷, S⁵ = 9.26 × 10⁻¹⁰⁰, S approx 1.32 × 10⁻²⁰M. Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
