One `dm^(3)` solution containing `10^(-5)` moles each of `Cl^(-)` ions and `CrO_(4)^(2-)` ions is treated with `10^(-4)` moles of silver nitrate. Which one of the following observation is made. `[K_(sp) Ag_(2)CrO_(4) = 4 xx 10^(-12)] [K_(sp)AgCl = 1 xx 10^(-10)]`A. Precipitation does not occurB. Silver chromate gets precipitated firstC. Silver chloride gets precipitated firstD. Both silver chromate and silver chloride start precipitation simultaneously

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ionic product of `AgCl = [10^(-4)][10^(-5)] = 10^(-9)`
Ionic product of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4) = [10^(-8)][10^(-5)] = 10^(-13)`
Ionic product of `AgCl gt K_(sp)` of AgCl
So, precipitation will take place.
Ionic product of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4) lt K_(sp)` of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4)`
So, precipitation will not take place.
