 The Ksp of Ag2CrO4 is 1.1 x 10-12 at 298 K. The solubility (in mol/L)  of Ag2CrOin a 0.1 M AgNO3 solution is 


A) $1.1\times 10^{-11}$

B) $1.1\times 10^{-10}$

C) $1.1\times 10^{-12}$

D) $1.1\times 10^{-9}$

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 Plan in presence of common ion (in this case Ag+ ion )  solubility of sparingly soluble salt is decreased

 Let solubility of Ag2CrO4 in presence of 0.1 m

 AgNO3  =x

 $Ag_{2}CrO_{4}\rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+}+CrO_2^{4-}$

                                       2x                x

$ AgNO_{3}\rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}+NO_3^{-}$

                                    0.1          0.1

Total [Ag+]= [2x+0.1]M

 = 0.1 M as x<<< 0.1 M

 $ [Cr_{4}^{2-}]=x M$

 thus, $[Ag^{+}]^{2+}[CrO^{2-}_{4}]= K_{sp}$

 (0.1)2 (x)=1.1 x 10-12

  $\therefore$       x= $1.1\times 10^{-10}$ M
