NEET 2016 Chemistry Solubility Product MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

MY and NY₃, two nearly insoluble salts, have the same Ksp values of 6.2 × 10⁻¹³ at room temperature. Which statement would be TRUE in regard to MY and NY₃?

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Since NY₃ has more ions per formula unit, it will have a higher molar solubility compared to MY, given the same Ksp.
