    a) PbCrO4:

    according to the equation:

    PbCrO4 (s) → Pb2 + (aq) + CrO42 - (aq)

    so, Ksp = [Pb2+][CrO42-]

    by assuming [Pb2+] = [CrO42-] = X

    and when S (the solubility) = 4 x 10^-5 g/L

    we have first to convert solubility from g/L to mol/L by getting the molar mass of the salt

    solubility mol/L = solubility g/L / molar mass of salt

    = 4 x 10^-5g/L / 323.2 g/mol

    = 1.24 x 10^-7 mol / L

    by substitution in Ksp formula:

    ∴Ksp = X * X

    = (1.24 x 10^-7) ^2

    = 1.54 x 10^-14

    b) BaC2O4:

    according to this equation:

    BaC2O4 (s) → Ba 2 + (aq) + C2O4 2 - (aq)

    So Ksp = [Ba2+][C2O42-]

    Assume that [Ba2+] = [C2O42-] = X

    when the solubility S = 0.29 g/L = X, so we need to convert S from g/L to

    mol / L

    solubility mol / L = solubility g/L / molar mass of salt

    = 0.29 g/L / 225.34 g/mol

    = 0.0013 mol/L

    by substitution in ksp formula:

    ∴Ksp = X^2

    = (0.0013) ^2

    = 1.69 x 10^-6

    C) MnCO3:

    according to this equation:

    MnCO3 (s) → Mn2 + (aq) + CO3 2 - (aq)

    so, Ksp = [Mn2+][CO32-]

    assume [Mn2+] = [CO32-] = X

    when the solubility s = 4.2 x 10^-6 g/L so we need to convert S from g/L to mol/L by dividing on molar mass.

    the solubility mol/L = solubility g/L / molar mass g/mol

    =.4.2 x 10^-6 / 114.9

    = 3.7 x 10^-8 mol/L

    by substitution on ksp formula:

    ∴ Ksp = X*X

    = (3.7 x 10^-8) ^2

    = 1.369 x 10^-15
