A saturated solution of copper(I) sulfide, Cu 2 S, contains 1.91 10 12 g of Cu

Question:

A saturated solution of copper(I) sulfide, Cu2S, contains 1.91 × 10–12 g of Cu2S dissolved in 1 dm3 of water. (Ar values: Cu = 63.5, S = 32.1)

a. Write an equilibrium expression for the solubility product of copper(I) sulfide.

b. Calculate the value of the solubility product of copper(I) sulfide, stating the units.

c. Copper(II) chromate has a solubility of 1.9 × 10–3 mol dm–3 in water. Copper(II) sulfate has a solubility of 1.4 × 10–1 mol dm–3 in water. What will you observe when 10 cm3 of an aqueous solution of 0.0100 mol dm–3 copper(II) sulfate is added to an equal volume of a saturated solution of copper(II) chromate. Explain your answer.
