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]
