Q20 / 220 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Ionic Equilibrium

The solubility products of Al(OH)3 and Zn(OH)2 are 8.5×10-23 and 1.8×10-14 respectively. If NH4OH is added to a solution containing Al3+ and Zn2+ ions, then substance precipitated first is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    Al(OH)3
  • B
    Zn(OH)2
  • C
    Both together
  • D
    None at all

Solution

ppt occurs when ionic product is greater than solubility product. Solubility of Al(OH)3 is lesser than Zn(OH)2

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