Question

An aqueous solution of a metal bromide MBr2 (0.05M) is saturated with H2S. The minimum pH at which MS will precipitate is X? Ksp for MS=6.0×1021.
X is:
Concentration of saturated H2S=0.1M; K1=107 and K2=1.3×1013 for H2S.

Solution

The correct option is C 1
For the precipitation of MS from a solution of MBr2 by passing H2S
KspMS=[M2+][S2]
or 6×1021=[0.05][S2]
or [S2]=1.2×1019M
i.e., precipitation of MS will start when H2S provides 1.2×1019M ion of S2
For H2S
H2S2H++S2
K=K1×K2=[H+][S2][H2S]
or 107×1.3×1013=[+][1.2×1019]0.1
or [H+]=1.04×101
pH=0.9826
