calculate the concentration of silver in a 100.0 mL solution of silver bromide at 25oC (298 K) when the Ksp is 5.0 x 10-13

Concentration AgBr at saturation = 7.07 x 10⁻⁷M

Explanation:

Given AgBr(s) => Ag⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) ; Ksp = 5 x 10⁻¹³ = [Ag⁺][Br⁻]

    I       ---                0              0

    C     ---               +x             +x

     E     ---                 x               x

[Ag⁺][Br⁻] = (x)(x) = x² = 5 x 10⁻¹³ => x = SqrRt(5 x 10⁻¹³) = 7.07 x 10⁻⁷M
