The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the relationship between the solubility product \( K_{sp} \) and the solubility \( S \) of the electrolyte \( A_2B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Dissociation of the Electrolyte**: The electrolyte \( A_2B \) dissociates in solution as follows: \[ A_2B \rightleftharpoons 2A^+ + B^{2-} \] This means that for every 1 mole of \( A_2B \) that dissolves, it produces 2 moles of \( A^+ \) ions and 1 mole of \( B^{2-} \) ions. 2. **Define Solubility**: Let the solubility of \( A_2B \) be \( S \) M. Therefore, when \( A_2B \) dissolves: - The concentration of \( A^+ \) ions will be \( 2S \) (since 2 moles of \( A^+ \) are produced). - The concentration of \( B^{2-} \) ions will be \( S \) (since 1 mole of \( B^{2-} \) is produced). 3. **Expression for \( K_{sp} \)**: The solubility product \( K_{sp} \) is given by the formula: \[ K_{sp} = [A^+]^2 [B^{2-}] \] Substituting the concentrations from the previous step: \[ K_{sp} = (2S)^2 (S) = 4S^2 \cdot S = 4S^3 \] 4. **Finding \( K_{sp}^{1/2} \)**: Now, we need to find \( K_{sp}^{1/2} \): \[ K_{sp}^{1/2} = (4S^3)^{1/2} = 2S^{3/2} \] 5. **Dividing by 4**: Finally, we need to divide \( K_{sp}^{1/2} \) by 4: \[ \frac{K_{sp}^{1/2}}{4} = \frac{2S^{3/2}}{4} = \frac{S^{3/2}}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The final expression for the solubility \( S \) in terms of \( K_{sp} \) is: \[ \frac{S^{3/2}}{2} \]
