Step 1
S be the solubility of Al(OH)3
Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3=(S)(3S)3=27S4
S4=Ksp27=27×101127×10=1×1012
S=1×103mil L1
Step 2
Solution of Al(OH)3: Molar mass of Al(OH)3 78 g. Therefore, solubility of Al(OH)3 in
gL1=1×103×78gL1=78×103gL1=7.8×102gL1
Step 3
pH of the solution: S=1×103mol L1
[OH]=3S=3×1×103=3×103
p[OH]=3log3
pH=14pOH=11+log3=11.4771

Step 1
Suppose the solubility is S mol L1. Then
Al(OH)3Al3++3OHS3S
Ksp=S×(3s)3=27S4
27S4=2.7×1011 or S4=1012 or S=103mol L1
Molar mass of Al(OH)3 in gL1=103×78=7.8×102gL1
[OH]=3S=3×103mol L1
pOH=log(3×103=30.4771=3.5229
pH=142.5229=11.4771

Step 1
The equation is as follows:
Al(OH)3(s)
AL3+(aq)+3OH(aq)
The solubility equation of Al(OH)3(s) is given above. The ionization of AL(OH)3(s) gives Al3+ions and OHions in water. The coefficient of Al3+ ion is one whereas the coefficient of OH ion is three.
Step 2
The solubility product expression Ksp is as follows:
Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3
Solubility-product expression for Al(OH)3(s) is Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3
NSK
Ksp of Al(OH)3(s) is the product of molar solubility of ions Al3+ and OH formed in the ionization of Al(OH)3(s). Therefore, the Ksp expression for Al(OH)3(s) is Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3
NSK
Solubility-product expression for Al(OH)3(s) is Ksp=[Al3+][OH]3
