Solution
The correct option is CAg2CrO4 For Ag2CrO4,
Ksp=(2S)2S1−S,S<<1 =1.1×10−12=4S3⇒S=6.5×10−5
For AgCl AgCl→Ag++Cl− SS Ksp=S2 1.8×10−10=S2 S=1.34×10−5
Similarly for AgBr and AgI is 7.1×10−7 and 9.1×10−9 respectively. Since, solubility of Ag2CrO4 is the highest, it will precipitate last.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
