Question
if 1.7L of a saturated solution of AgC2H2O2 is found to contain 14.1g of AgC2H3O2. What is the Ksp of AgC2H3O2?

You work this one in reverse from your post on determining the Ksp for AgAc. mols AgC2H3O2 = 14.1 molar mass AgC2H3O2 = approx 0.08
M AgAc = 0.08 AgAc/1.7L = approx 0.05 mols/L.
........AgAc ==> Ag^+ + Ac^-
I.......solid....0.......0
C.......solid....x.......x
E.......solid....x.......x
Ksp = (Ag^+)(Ac^-)
Ksp = (x)(x)
You know the value of x, substitute and solve for Ksp.
M AgAc = 0.08 AgAc/1.7L = approx 0.05 mols/L.
........AgAc ==> Ag^+ + Ac^-
I.......solid....0.......0
C.......solid....x.......x
E.......solid....x.......x
Ksp = (Ag^+)(Ac^-)
Ksp = (x)(x)
You know the value of x, substitute and solve for Ksp.
