JEE Main2007ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
In a sautrated solution of the sparingly soluble strong electrolyte AgIO ₃ (Molecular mass =283 ) the equilibrium which sets in is AgIO _ 3( s ) Ag _ ( aq ) ⁺+ IO _ 3( aq ) ⁻ If the solubility product constant K _ sp of AgIO ₃ at a given temperature is 1.0 10⁻⁸ , what is the mass of AgIO ₃ contained in 100 ~ml of its saturated solution?
Options
- A28.3 10⁻² ~g
- B2.83 10⁻³ ~g
- C1.0 10⁻⁷ ~g
- D1.0 10⁻⁴ ~g
Correct answer
B. 2.83 10⁻³ ~g
Step-by-step solution
AgIO ₃( s ) Ag ⁺( aq )+ IO ₃⁻( aq ) Let the solubility of AgIO ₃ be s K _ sp = [ Ag ⁺ ] [ IO ₃⁻ ]1.0 10⁻⁸= s ^2 s =10⁻⁴ ~mol / litre = 10⁻⁴ 283 1000 100=283 10⁻⁵=2.83 10⁻³ ~g / 100 ~ml Hence, (B) is correct.
