JEE Main Chemistry question
Ksp of salts AB, AB₂ and A₃B are 4.0×10⁻⁸, 3.2×10⁻¹⁴ and 2.7×10⁻¹⁵ respectively at temperature T. The solubility order of these salts in water at temperature T (in mol litre⁻¹) is:
Answer: (D)
Solution
s(AB)=√(4×10⁻⁸)=2×10⁻⁴; s(AB₂)=(3.2×10⁻¹⁴/4)^(1/3)=2×10⁻⁵; s(A₃B)=(2.7×10⁻¹⁵/27)^(1/4)=10⁻⁴.
