Q30 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Solubility Product
Arrange the following in increasing order of solubility product: Ca(OH)_2,\ AgBr,\ PbS,\ HgS
  • A. PbS < HgS < Ca(OH)_2 < AgBr
  • B. HgS < PbS < AgBr < Ca(OH)_2
  • C. Ca(OH)_2 < AgBr < HgS < PbS
  • D. HgS < AgBr < PbS < Ca(OH)_2

Solution

### Related Formula The solubility product constant (K_sp) reflects the equilibrium position of a sparingly soluble salt in water. ### Core Logic Based on standard literature K_sp values at 298text K: - HgS: approx 4 times 10^-53 (extremely insoluble, Group IIB cation analysis) - PbS: approx 8 times 10^-28 (highly insoluble, Group IIA cation analysis) - AgBr: approx 5 times 10^-13 (sparingly soluble halide salt) - Ca(OH)_2: approx 5.5 times 10^-6 (moderately soluble base) ### Step 1: Arrangement Comparing these K_sp orders: 4 times 10^-53 < 8 times 10^-28 < 5 times 10^-13 < 5.5 times 10^-6 Hence, the correct increasing sequence is: HgS < PbS < AgBr < Ca(OH)_2. ### Pattern Recognition Sulphides of heavy transition metals like Hg^2+ and Pb^2+ have exceptionally small K_sp values compared to halides or hydroxides. Among sulphides, HgS is famously known to have one of the lowest solubility products found in inorganic qualitative analysis. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Equilibrium

Numerical Answer. Answer: 7 to 7

Solution

### Related Formula For a salt of weak acid and weak base (like ammonium acetate): mathrmpH = frac12 (mathrmpK_w + mathrmpK_a - mathrmpK_b) ### Core Logic Ammonium acetate (CH_3COONH_4) is a salt formed from a weak acid (CH_3COOH) and a weak base (NH_4OH). Given: K_a = 1.8 times 10^-5 K_b = 1.8 times 10^-5 Since K_a = K_b, taking the negative logarithm gives mathrmpK_a = mathrmpK_b. ### Step 1: Calculate pH mathrmpH = fracmathrmpK_w + mathrmpK_a - mathrmpK_b2 Substitute mathrmpK_a = mathrmpK_b: mathrmpH = fracmathrmpK_w2 At standard temperature (298 K), mathrmpK_w = 14. mathrmpH = frac142 = 7 ### Pattern Recognition If K_a = K_b for a weak acid-weak base salt, the hydrolysis of cation and anion perfectly balance out, making the resulting solution exactly neutral (pH = 7) regardless of the concentration of the salt. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Equilibrium

### Related Formula mathrmN_2(g) + 3mathrmH_2(g) rightleftharpoons 2mathrmNH_3(g) K_c = frac[mathrmNH_3]^2, [mathrmN_2][mathrmH_2]^3 ### Core Logic Substituting the given equilibrium concentrations into the equilibrium constant expression: K_c = frac(1.5 times 10^-2)^2, (2 times 10^-2) times (3 times 10^-2)^3 Evaluating the values step-by-step: K_c = frac2.25 times 10^-4, (2 times 10^-2) times (27 times 10^-6) ### Step 1: Final Arithmetic Integration K_c = frac2.25 times 10^-4, 54 times 10^-8 = frac2.25, 54 times 10^4 = 0.041666 times 10^4 approx 416.67 Rounding to the nearest integer yields **417**. ### Pattern Recognition Pay close attention to the cubic exponent in the denominator derived from the hydrogen stoichiometric coefficient (3). Small calculation errors here can significantly alter the result. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Equilibrium
