Solution
The correct option is A 150 mL Ag2CrO4⇌2Ag++CrO2−4 Let S mol/L be the solubility of Ag2CrO4 [Ag2CrO4]=[CrO2−4]=S [Ag+]=2S Ksp=[Ag+]2[CrO2−4] 1.9×10−12=(2S)2×S=4S3 S=7.8×10−5M The molar mass of Ag2CrO4=331.7g/mol Convert solubility of Ag2CrO4 from mol/L to g/L. S=7.8×10−5mol/L×331.7g/mol
S=0.0259g/L
Convert solubility of Ag2CrO4 from g/L to mg/mL.
S=0.0259g/L×1000mg1g×1L1000mL
S=0.0259mg/mL
To dissolve 4 mg of Ag2CrO4, volume of water required will be 4mg×1mL0.0259mg=154mL≃150mL.
