The solubility product constants of Ag₂CrO₄ and AgBr are 32x and 4y respectively at 298 K. The value of ( molarity of Ag₂CrO₄ molarity of AgBr ) can be expressed as :
Options
- A2 [3] x y
- B2 x y
- Cx y
- D[3] x y
Correct answer
D. [3] x y
Step-by-step solution
Let the solubility of Ag₂CrO₄ be S₁ . For Ag₂CrO₄ 2Ag^+ + CrO₄²⁻ K_ sp = (2S₁)^2(S₁) = 4S₁^3 4S₁^3 = 32x S₁^3 = 8x S₁ = 2 [3] x Let the solubility of AgBr be S₂ . For AgBr Ag^+ + Br^- K_ sp = S₂^2 S₂^2 = 4y S₂ = 2 y The ratio of their molarities is: S₁ S₂ = 2 [3] x 2 y = [3] x y Answer: [3] x y
