MCQ
What is the molar solubility of $Ag_2CO_3$ $(K_{sp} = 4\times 10^{-13})$ in $0.1\,M\,Na_2CO_3$ solution
  • $10^{-6}$
  • B
    $10^{-7}$
  • C
    $2\times 10^{-6}$
  • D
    $2\times 10^{-7}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$10^{-6}$
a
Let solubility of $\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ in presence of $Na_2CO_3$ is $x$,

$\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}(\mathrm{s}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\mathrm{aq}-)+\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}(\mathrm{aq})$

                                        $2x$             $(x+0.1)=0.1$

${{\text{K}}_{{\text{sp}}}} = {\left[ {{\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^ + }} \right]^2}\left[ {{\text{CO}}_3^{2 - }} \right]$

$ \Rightarrow 4 \times {10^{ - 13}} = {(2{\text{x}})^2} \times 0.1$

$ \Rightarrow {\text{x}} = {10^{ - 6}}$
