Q7 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (01 Feb Shift 2) · Chemistry

Solubility of calcium phosphate (molecular mass, M) in water is Wg per 100 mL at 25°C. Its solubility product at 25°C will be approximately.

  • A
    107WM3
  • Correct answer
    B
    107WM5
  • C
    103WM5
  • D
    105WM5

Solution

Given the solubility of Ca3PO42 is Wg/100 mL. The solubility in mol/L is S=WM×1000100mol/L.

The equilibrium reaction of calcium phosphate is 

Ca3PO42⇌3Ca2++2PO43-At equilibrium3S2S

Now, Ksp=Ca2+3PO43-2

⇒Ksp=3S32S2=108×S5

⇒Ksp=108×WM×105⇒Ksp=108×105×WM5

=1.08×107WM5

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
