  • Need explanation for: MY and NY3 two neartly insoluble salts, have te same Ksp values of 6.2 x 10-13 at room temperature. Which statement would be true in regard of MYand NY3?

MY and NY3 two neartly insoluble salts, have te same Ksp values of 6.2 x 10-13 at room temperature. Which statement would be true in regard of MY and NY3?

  • Option 1)

    The molar solubilities of MY and NY3 in water are indetical.

  • Option 2)

    The molar solubility of MY in water is less than that of NY3.

  • Option 3)

    The salts MY and NY3 are more soluble in 0.5 M KY than in pure water.

  • Option 4)

    The addition of the salt of KY to solution of MY and NY3 will have no effect on their solubilities.

As we learnt in

Solubility product constant -

e.g.

BaSO_{4}\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)


K=\frac{[Ba^{2+}]\:[SO_{4}^{2-}]}{[BaSO_{4}]}

- wherein

For a pure solid substance the concentration remain constant

\therefore \:K_{sp}=K[BaSO_{4}]
 

               =[Ba^{2+}]\:[SO_{4}^{2-}]
 

    K_{sp}=solubility\:product

 

 MY\rightleftharpoons M^{+}+Y^{-}                                    K_{sp}=6.2 \times 10^{-13}

1-s              s             s

\Rightarrow \frac{s^{2}}{1-s}=6.2 \times 10^{-13}

s << 1

\therefore s = \sqrt{6.2\times 10^{-13}}=7.87 \times 10^{-7}

Also 

\\NY_{3}\rightleftharpoons N^{3+}+3Y^{-},\ \: \: \: \: K_{sp}=6.2 \times 10^{-13}\\1-s'\: \: \: \: \: \: \: s' \: \: \: \: 3s'

\Rightarrow K_{sp}=\frac{(3s') (s)}{(1-s')}

\Rightarrow 27 s'^{4}=6.2 \times 10^{-13}

\Rightarrow s'=3.89 \times 10^{-4}

Clearly s' > s
