AIIMS2006ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
Assertion : Sb ₂ ~S ₃ is not soluble in yellow ammonium sulphide. Reason : The common ion effect due to S ²⁻ ions reduces the solubility of Sb ₂ ~S ₃ .
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
- CIf assertion is true, but reason is false
- DBoth assertion and reason are false statements.
Correct answer
D. Both assertion and reason are false statements.
Step-by-step solution
Sb ₂ ~S ₃ is soluble in yellow ammonium sulphide. Sb ₂ ~S ₃+3 ( NH ₄ )₂ ~S 2 ( NH ₄ )₃ SbS ₃ The stability of sulphides increases with increase in atomic number of the element.
