Solution

The correct option is D Ag2CO3; Ksp=6.2×1012
(A) For CaCO3,S=Ksp=8.7×109=9.3×105 M
(B) For CuS,S=Ksp=8.5×1045=9.2×1023 M
(C) For Ag2CO3,S=(Ksp/4)1/3=(6.2×1012/4)1/3=1.15×104 M
(D) For Pb(IO3)2,S=(Ksp/4)1/3=(2.6×1013/4)1/3=4×105 M
Hence, Ag2CO3 has the greatest molar solubility in pure water.
