Question

Manganese(II) sulfide is one of the compounds found in the nodules on the ocean floor that may eventually be a primary source of many transition metals. The solubility of MnS is $4.7 \times 10^{-4}$ g/100. mL solution. Estimate the $K_{\mathrm{sp}}$ of MnS.

Step 1

Given solubility of MnS = $4.7 \times 10^{-4}$ g/100 mL solution Molar mass of MnS = 54.94 g/mol (molar mass of Mn) + 32.06 g/mol (molar mass of S) = 87 g/mol Convert solubility to mol/L: $4.7 \times 10^{-4}$ g / 100 mL = 0.0047 g / 100 mL = 0.0047 g / 0.1 L = Show more…
