# A student prepares a saturated aqueous solution of silver chromate, \(\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4\), at \(298\text{ K}\). The dissolution equilibrium is represented by the equation below.

\[\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{ Ag}^+(aq) + \text{CrO}_4^{2-}(aq)\]

Which of the following is the correct expression for the solubility-product constant, \(K_{sp}\), of \(\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4\text{?}\)

A student prepares a saturated aqueous solution of silver chromate, \(\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4\), at \(298\text{ K}\). The dissolution equilibrium is represented by the equation below.

\[\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{ Ag}^+(aq) + \text{CrO}_4^{2-}(aq)\]

Which of the following is the correct expression for the solubility-product constant, \(K_{sp}\), of \(\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4\text{?}\)

- **A.** \(K_{sp} = \dfrac{[\text{Ag}^+]^2[\text{CrO}_4^{2-}]}{[\text{Ag}_2\text{CrO}_4]}\)
- **B.** \(K_{sp} = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{CrO}_4^{2-}]\)
- **C.** \(K_{sp} = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{CrO}_4^{2-}]^2\)
- **D.** \(K_{sp} = [\text{Ag}^+]^2[\text{CrO}_4^{2-}]\)
