The correct Answer is:
To find the solubility of mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Dissociation Equation:** Mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) dissociates in water as follows: \[ \text{Hg}_2\text{Cl}_2 (s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Hg}_2^{2+} (aq) + 2\text{Cl}^- (aq) \] 2. **Define Solubility:** Let the solubility of mercurous chloride be \( S \) mol/L. This means that at equilibrium: - The concentration of \(\text{Hg}_2^{2+}\) will be \( S \) - The concentration of \(\text{Cl}^-\) will be \( 2S \) (since two chloride ions are produced for each formula unit of mercurous chloride that dissolves). 3. **Write the Expression for Ksp:** The solubility product constant (\( K_{sp} \)) for the dissociation reaction is given by: \[ K_{sp} = [\text{Hg}_2^{2+}][\text{Cl}^-]^2 \] Substituting the concentrations we defined: \[ K_{sp} = (S)(2S)^2 \] 4. **Simplify the Expression:** Simplifying the expression gives: \[ K_{sp} = S \cdot 4S^2 = 4S^3 \] 5. **Solve for Solubility (S):** Rearranging the equation to find \( S \): \[ S = \left( \frac{K_{sp}}{4} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \] 6. **Final Expression:** Thus, the solubility of mercurous chloride in water can be expressed as: \[ S = \left( \frac{K_{sp}}{4} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \] ### Conclusion: The solubility of mercurous chloride in water is given by the expression \( S = \left( \frac{K_{sp}}{4} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \).
