The correct Answer is:
To find the expression for the solubility product (Ksp) of calcium phosphate, \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Dissociation Equation The first step is to write the dissociation equation for the sparingly soluble salt \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \). \[ \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 (s) \rightleftharpoons 3 \text{Ca}^{2+} (aq) + 2 \text{PO}_4^{3-} (aq) \] ### Step 2: Define Solubility Let the solubility of \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) in mol/L be \( S \). This means that when \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) dissolves, it produces ions in the following amounts: - For every 1 mole of \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) that dissolves, it produces 3 moles of \( \text{Ca}^{2+} \) ions. - It produces 2 moles of \( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \) ions. Thus, at equilibrium: - The concentration of \( \text{Ca}^{2+} \) ions = \( 3S \) - The concentration of \( \text{PO}_4^{3-} \) ions = \( 2S \) ### Step 3: Write the Ksp Expression The solubility product \( K_{sp} \) is defined as the product of the concentrations of the ions, each raised to the power of their coefficients in the balanced equation. \[ K_{sp} = [\text{Ca}^{2+}]^3 \times [\text{PO}_4^{3-}]^2 \] Substituting the concentrations from Step 2: \[ K_{sp} = (3S)^3 \times (2S)^2 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Now we will simplify the expression: \[ K_{sp} = (27S^3) \times (4S^2) = 108S^5 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the expression for the solubility product \( K_{sp} \) of \( \text{Ca}_3(\text{PO}_4)_2 \) is: \[ K_{sp} = 108S^5 \] ---
