Answer:
The solubility product of zinc sulfide is [tex]2.56\times 10^{-24}[/tex].
Explanation:
Solubility of the zinc sulfide = [tex]S=1.6\times 10^{-12}[/tex]
[tex]ZnS\rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}+S^{2-}[/tex]
S S
The expression of solubility product is given by :
[tex]K_{sp}=[Zn^{2+}]\times [S^{2-}][/tex]
[tex]K_{sp}=S\times S=S^2[/tex]
[tex]=1.6\times 10^{-12}\times 1.6\times 10^{-12}=2.56\times 10^{-24}[/tex]
The solubility product of zinc sulfide is [tex]2.56\times 10^{-24}[/tex].
