The solubility constant of agbr is 5.0 x 10-13. the formation constant of the silver(i) ammonia complex, ag(nh3)2, is 1.6 x 107 calculate the solubility, in moles/l, of agbr in 1.00 mammonia solution.

S AgBr = 2.82 E-3 mol/L

Explanation:

∴ Ksp = [ Ag+ ] * [ Br- ] = 5.0 E-13

∴ Kf = 1.6 E7 = α[Ag(NH3)2]+ / ( αAg+ )*( αNH3 )²

∴ C NH3(sln) = 1.00 M

from (1) + (2):

                             1 M                     0                       0

                            1 - 2x                   x                        x

∴ K = Ksp*Kf = ( 5.0 E-13 )*( 1.6 E7 ) = 8.0 E-6

⇒ K = ( [ Br- ] * [ Ag(NH3)2+] ) / [ NH3 ]² = 8.0 E-6

⇒ K = (( x )*( x )) / ( 1 - 2x ) = 8.0 E-6

⇒ x² = 8.0 E-6*( 1- 2x )

⇒ x² + 1.6 E-5x - 8.0 E-6 = 0

⇒ x = 2.82 E-3 M

⇒ [ Br- ] = [ AgBr ] = 2.82 E-3 M
