As we learnt that

General expression of solubility product -

M_{x}X_{y}\rightleftharpoons xM^{p+}(aq)+yX^{2-}(aq)


(x.p^{+}=y.\bar{q})

- wherein

Its solubility product is 
 

K_{sp}=[M^{p+}]^{x}\:[X^{2-}]^{y}

 

 s = \frac{2.42 X 10^{-3}}{233} = 1.038 X 10^{-5} mole/L

K_{sp} =s^{2} = (1.038 X 10^{-5})^{2} = 1.08 X 10^{-10}

 


Option 1)

1.08 x 10-14 mol2 L-2

This is incorrect.

Option 2)

1.08 x 10-12 mol2 L-2

This is incorrect.

Option 3)

1.08 x 10-10 mol2 L-2

This is correct.

Option 4)

1.08 x 10-8 mol2 L-2

This is incorrect.
