Sparingly soluble salts maintains their solubilityproduct value in their saturated solutions irrespective of the sources of the ions .what is the molar solubility of AgNO_3in a 0.1 M H_2Ssolution buffered at pH= 2 (K_1 and K_2 "of "H_2S " are "10^(4) and 10^(-8)respectively)(K_(sp) " of "Ag_2S = 4xx 10^(-13) )(Note : No Ag_2Sprecipitate should be formed)

Answer»

` 0.01 M`
` 0. 02 M`
` 0. 03 M`
` 0. 04 M`

Solution :`PH= 2 , [H^(+) ] =10 ^(-2) M`
` K_a =([H^(+) ][S^(-2) ])/( [H_2S] ) rArr 10 ^(-12)=( 10 ^(-4) [S^(-2)])/( 10^(-1) ) `
` [S^(-2) ]= 10 ^(-9)M`
` Ag_2S hArr 2Ag^(+) +S^(_2) `
` K_(Sp)=[Ag^(+) ]^(2) [S^(-2) ], 4 xx10 ^(-13) =[Ag^(+) ]^(2) (10 ^(-9))`
` [Ag^(+) ]= 2xx 10 ^(-2) =0.02 M`
