Q.

Concentration of the Ag+ ions in a saturated solution of Ag2C2O4 is 2.2×10-4 mol L-1. Solubility product of Ag2C2O4 is       [2017]

1 2.66×10-12  
2 4.5×10-11  
3 5.3×10-12  
4 2.42×10-8  

Ans.

(3)

Let solubility of Ag2C2O4 be s mol L-1 

Ag2C2O4(s)s2Ag(aq)+2s+C2O4(aq)2-s

Ksp=[Ag+]2[C2O42-]

Ksp=(2s)2(s)=4s3

Ksp=4×(1.1×10-4)3  ([Ag+]=2s=2.2×10-4)

Ksp=5.3×10-12
