Use the Following Information to Calculate the Solubility Product Constant

Multiple Choice

Use the following information to calculate the solubility product constant, K_sp, for CuCl. A saturated solution of CuCl in water was prepared and filtered. From the filtrate, 1.0 L was measured out into a beaker and evaporated to dryness. The solid CuCl residue recovered in the beaker was found to weigh 0.041g.
