Q.

The Ksp of Ag2CrO4, AgCl, AgBr and AgI are respectively,  1.1×10-12, 1.8×10-10, 5.0×10-138.3×10-17. Which one of the following salts will precipitate last if AgNO3 solution is added to the solution containing equal moles of NaCl, NaBr, NaI and Na2CrO4         [2015]

1 AgBr  
2 Ag2CrO4  
3 AgI  
4 AgCl  

Ans.

(2)
 

Salt Ksp Solubility
Ag2CrO4 1.1×10-12=4s3 s=Ksp43=0.65×10-4
AgCl 1.8×10-10=s2 s=Ksp=1.34×10-5
AgBr 5×10-13=s2 s=Ksp=0.71×10-6
AgI 8.3×10-17=s2 s=Ksp=0.9×10-8


Solubility of Ag2CrO4 is highest, thus it will be precipitated at last.
