Solubility product of a salt of AB is `1 xx 10^(-8) M ^(2)` in a solution in which the concentration of `A^(+)` ions is `10^(-3)M`. The salt will precipitate when the concentration of `B^(-)` ions is keptA. `10^(-6)M`B. `10^(-5)M`C. `10^(-4)M`D. `10^(-7)M`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`K_(sp)=1 xx 10^(-8)`
`=[A^(+)][B^(-)]=[10^(-3)][B^(-)]`
The salt will be precipitated if
Ionic product `gt K_(sp)`
`10^(-3) [B^(-)]gt 1 xx 10^(-8)`
`[B^(-)]gt (10^(-8))/(10^(-3)) i.e., [B^(-)] gt 10^(-5) M`.
