Identify the correct order of solubility in aqueous medium.
Options
- ACuS > ZnS > Na ₂ ~S
- BZnS > Na ₂ ~S > CuS
- CNa ₂ ~S > CuS > ZnS
- DNa ₂ ~S > ZnS > CuS
Correct answer
D. Na ₂ ~S > ZnS > CuS
Step-by-step solution
lonic compounds are more soluble in water or in aqueous medium. lonic character size of cation (if anion is same) The order of size of cation is Na ⁺> Zn ²⁺> Cu ²⁺ The order of ionic character and hence, of solubility in water is as Na ₂ ~S > ZnS > CuS
