Expert Answer
a. The balanced equation for the dissociation of HgSO4 is:HgSO4(s) ? Hg2+ (aq) + SO42- (aq)The solubility of HgSO4 is given as 0.001026 M, which means that the concentration of Hg2+ and SO42- ions in the solution is also 0.001026 M.The Ksp expression for HgSO4 is:Ksp = [Hg2+][SO42-]Substituting the concentration values, we get:Ksp = (0.001026)2 = 1.053 x 10^-6Therefore, the Ksp of HgSO4 is 1.053 x 10^-6. Determine the value of Ksp
