Equilibrium - Result Question 94

####98. The solubility products of CuS,Ag2S and HgS are 1031,1044,1054 respectively. The solubilities of these sulphides are in the order

[1997]

(a) Ag2S>HgS>CuS

(b) Ag2S>CuS>HgS

(c) HgS>Ag2S>CuS

(d) CuS>Ag2S>HgS

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) For Binary salts like Misplaced &, solubilty,

s=Ksp

sCuS=1031=3.16×1016,

sHgS=1054=1027

For Ag2S2Ag+2s+S2s

Ksp=4s3 or sAg2S=Ksp43=104443

=0.25×10×10453=13.54×1016

The order is Ag2S>CuS>HgS
