The value of ksp for silver carbonate, ag2co3, is 8.10×10−12. calculate the solubility of ag2co3 in grams per liter.

0.0349 g/L  

Explanation:  

Let s = the molar solubility.  

                     Ag₂CO₃(s) ⇌ 2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq); = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²

E/mol·L⁻¹:                                2s                 s  

=[Ag⁺]²[CO₃²⁻] = (2s)²×s = 4s^3 = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²  

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
