Q.

Consider two Group IV metal ions X2+ and Y2+.

A solution containing 0.01 M X2+ and 0.01 M Y2+ is saturated with H2S. The pH at which the metal sulphide YS will form as a precipitate is ________. (Nearest integer)

(Given: Ksp(XS)=1×10-22 at 25°C, Ksp(YS)=4×10-16 at 25°C,

[H2S]=0.1 M in solution,  Ka1×Ka2(H2S)=1.0×10-21, log2=0.30,  log3=0.48,  log5=0.70)                 [2026]
