AIPMT PRELIMS 2004 Chemistry Solubility Product MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The solubility product of a sparingly soluble salt AX₂ is 3.2 ×10⁻¹¹. Its solubility (in moles/litre) is:-

A

1×10⁻⁴

B

2 × 10⁻⁴

C

4 × 10⁻⁴

D

5.6 × 10⁻⁶

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For a salt AX₂, the solubility product Ksp = [A⁺][X⁻]² = (s)(2s)² = 4s³. Solving 4s³ = 3.2 × 10⁻¹¹ gives s = 2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L.
