Question

The concentration of a solution is 10−4M for Cl−,10−5M for Br− and 10−3M for I−.AgNO3(s) is added slowly to the solution. If the minimum concentration of Ag+ required to start precipitation of all three ions is 10−x, then the value of x is

[Given, Ksp(AgCl)=10−10,Ksp(AgBr)=10−13,Ksp(AgI)=10−17]

Solution

The correct option is C 6
Since AgCl has highest solubility. So , AgCl will precipitate at last.
For precipitation of AgCl,
[Ag+][Cl]=1010
As the concentration of Cl=104M,

So, the minimum concentration of Ag+ required is 106M.

The value of x is 6.
