NEET Chemistry Solubility Product MCQ Question
Consider a diagram depicting the dissociation of a sparingly soluble salt in water. Which expression correctly represents the solubility product constant (Ksp) for a salt MX2 dissociating into its ions?
Ksp = [M^2+][X^-]^2
Ksp = [M^+][X^2-]
Ksp = [M^2+][X^-]
Ksp = [M^+][X^-]^2
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a salt like MX2, it dissociates into one M^2+ ion and two X^- ions. The expression for Ksp is [M^2+][X^-]^2, as it reflects the stoichiometry of the dissociation process.
