Which pair of ions will have highest Ksp values of their sulphides.
(1) Zn2+,Cu2+
(2) Pb2+,Hg2+
(3) Zn2+,Mn2+
(4) Cd2+,Bi3+
Explanation for correct option:
(3) In case to determine the highest Ksp, we have to check its precipitation rate. More easily the compound get precipitate lesser is its Ksp.
Group 2 and group 4 are precipitated as their sulphides. Whereas the Ksp of group 2 is less than group A ions, thus group 2 ions can be easily precipitated.
Hence, option (3) is correct.
