    The solubility product of \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\] is \[4\times {{10}^{-9}}\]. Its solubility in mol/L is

    A)  \[4\times {{10}^{-3}}\]       

    B)  \[4\times {{10}^{-9}}\]

    C)  \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}\]       

    D)  \[1\times {{10}^{-9}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Find relationship between solubility product and solubility of \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\] and then solve problem (solubility product of \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\] is \[4\times {{10}^{-9}}\])                 \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}B{{a}^{2+}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\] Let the solubility of \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\,\,x\,\,mol/L\] \[\therefore \] \[{{K}_{sp}}=[B{{a}^{2+}}]\,{{[C{{l}^{-}}]}^{2}}\]                 \[=(x)\times {{(2x)}^{2}}\]                 \[=x\times 4{{x}^{2}}=4{{x}^{3}}\] or solubility of \[BaC{{l}_{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{(solubility\text{ }product\text{ }of\,BaC{{l}_{2}})}^{\frac{1}{3}}}}{4}\]                 \[={{\left( \frac{4\times {{10}^{-9}}}{4} \right)}^{1/3}}\] \[={{10}^{-3}}mol/L\]
