The chemistry of silver(I) cyanide: (a) Calculate the solubility of AgCN(s) in water from the K sp

Question:

The chemistry of silver(I) cyanide:
(a) Calculate the solubility of AgCN(s) in water from the Ksp value.
(b) Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reactionAgCN(s) + CN- (aq)  [Ag(CN)](aq)

from Ksp and Kf values and predict from this value whether AgCN(s) would dissolve in KCN(aq).

(c) Determine the equilibrium constant for the reactionAgCN(s) + 2 SO3 (aq)  [Ag(SO3)21(aq) + CN- (aq)

Calculate the solubility of AgCN in a solution containing 0.10 M S2O32− and compare the value to the solubility in water [part (a)].
