The molar solubility(s) of zirconium phosphate with molecular formula $$(Zr^{4+})_{3}(PO_{4}^{3-})_{4}$$ is given by relation :
Zirconium phosphate has the formula $$(Zr^{4+})_3(PO_4^{3-})_4$$.
The dissociation equilibrium is:
$$Zr_3(PO_4)_4 \rightleftharpoons 3Zr^{4+} + 4PO_4^{3-}$$
If the molar solubility is $$s$$, then:
$$[Zr^{4+}] = 3s$$ and $$[PO_4^{3-}] = 4s$$
The solubility product expression is:
$$K_{sp} = [Zr^{4+}]^3 \cdot [PO_4^{3-}]^4 = (3s)^3 \cdot (4s)^4$$
$$K_{sp} = 27s^3 \cdot 256s^4 = 6912 \cdot s^7$$
Solving for $$s$$:
$$s = \left(\frac{K_{sp}}{6912}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}$$
The correct answer is Option B: $$\left(\frac{K_{sp}}{6912}\right)^{\frac{1}{7}}$$.
