Correct answer: 108

  1. Write the dissolution equilibrium

For the salt A3B2A_3B_2A3​B2​:

A3B2(s)⇌3A2++2B3−A_3B_2(s) \rightleftharpoons 3A^{2+} + 2B^{3-}A3​B2​(s)⇌3A2++2B3−

Let the molar solubility be sss mol L−1^{-1}−1.

Then at equilibrium:

[A2+]=3s,[B3−]=2s[A^{2+}] = 3s, \qquad [B^{3-}] = 2s[A2+]=3s,[B3−]=2s

  1. Write the solubility product expression

Ksp=[A2+]3[B3−]2K_{sp} = [A^{2+}]^3 [B^{3-}]^2Ksp​=[A2+]3[B3−]2

Substituting the concentrations:

Ksp=(3s)3(2s)2K_{sp} = (3s)^3(2s)^2Ksp​=(3s)3(2s)2

Ksp=27s3⋅4s2=108s5K_{sp} = 27s^3 \cdot 4s^2 = 108s^5Ksp​=27s3⋅4s2=108s5

  1. Relate molar solubility to given solubility in g L−1^{-1}−1

Given solubility is xxx g L−1^{-1}−1 and molar mass is MMM g mol−1^{-1}−1, so

s=xMs = \frac{x}{M}s=Mx​

Therefore,

Ksp=108(xM)5K_{sp} = 108\left(\frac{x}{M}\right)^5Ksp​=108(Mx​)5

Comparing with

Ksp=a(xM)5K_{sp} = a\left(\frac{x}{M}\right)^5Ksp​=a(Mx​)5

we get

a=108a = 108a=108

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 108108108

This matches the derived answer.
