Q24 / 220 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Ionic Equilibrium

The solubility product of different sparingly soluble salts are
1. XY=4×10-20
2. X2Y=3.2×10-11
3. XY3=2.7×10-31
The increasing order of solubility is

  • Correct answer
    A
    1, 3, 2
  • B
    2, 1, 3
  • C
    1, 2, 3
  • D
    3, 1, 2

Solution

S(XY)=Ksp=4×10-20=2×10-10
S(X2Y)=Ksp41/3=3.2×10-1141/3=2×10-4
S(X3Y)=Ksp271/4=2.7×10-31271/4=10-8
Hence, the solubility order is XY<X3Y<X2Y .

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