The Ksp of Ag2CrO4 is 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 1 2  at 298 K. The solubility (in mol L-1) of Ag2CrO4 in a 0.1 M AgNO3 solution is
  1. 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 1 1
  2. 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 1 0
  3. 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 1 2
  4. 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 9

Solution

Ag2CrO4 s2Ag+ aq+CrO42-2S molarS molar
AgNO3 aqAg+ aq+NO3- aq0.1 molar0.1 molar
Ag+=2S+0.1 molar
CrO42-=S molar
Here, S is the solubility of Ag2CrO4 in aqueous  AgNO3.

Ag + CrO 4 2 - = 2 S + 0 . 1 2 S = 1 . 1 × 1 0 - 1 2
                       S 0 . 1
0.12S=1.1×10-12=10-2×SS=1.1×10-10 M
