NEET2016ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
The solubility of A g C l s with solubility product 1.6 × 10 - 10 in 0.1 M N a C l solution would be
Options
- A1.26 × 10 - 5 M
- B1.6 × 10 - 9 M
- C1.6 × 10 - 11 M
- D1.26 × 10 - 15 M
Correct answer
B. 1.6 × 10 - 9 M
Step-by-step solution
The phenomenon in which the addition of an ion common to two solutes causes precipitation or reduces ionization is known as common ion effect. ∴ K s p A g C l = S S + 0.1 ∵ S ≪ 0.1 ∴ S + 0.1   ≈ 0.1 ∴ 1.6 × 10 - 10 = S × 0.1 ∴ S = 1.6 × 10 - 9   M
