Question

Calculate the solubility product of Co2[Fe(CN)6] in water at 25oC.
Given, conductivity of saturated solutions of Co2[Fe(CN)6] is 2.06  × 10-6  Ω-1 cm-1 and that of water used is 4.1 × 10-1 Ω-1 cm-1. The ionic molar conductivities of Co2+ and Fe(CN)64- are 86.0  Ω cm2 mol-1 and 444.0  Ω-1 cm2 mol-1, respectively.  

Options

A.7.87 × 10-7
B.7.87 × 10-6
C.7.87 × 10-8
D.7.87 × 10-9

Solution

KmCo2[F(CN)6 = 2.06 × 10-6 - 0.41 × 10-6 = 1.65 × 10-6
ΛmCo2[Fe(CN)6 = 2ΛmCo2+ + Λm[Fe(CN)6]4-
= 2 × 86 + 444 = 616 S cm2 mol-1
⇒ Λm = 1000 ⇒ c = 27 × 10-6 M
KspCo2[Fe(CN)6] = 4c3 = 7.87 × 10-7 M3
