Q1 FREE PREVIEW
If equal volumes of \({\mathrm{AB}}_{2}\) and XY (both are salts) aqueous solutions are mixed, which of the following combination will give a precipitate of \({\mathrm{AY}}_{2}\) at \(300\) K ?
\((\mathrm{Given}{\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{sp}}(\mathrm{at}300\mathrm{K})\)\(\mathrm{for}{\mathrm{AY}}_{2}=5.2\times {10}^{-7})\)
[JEE Main 2025, 2 Apr (Shift 1)]
✓ Correct answer: c)
\(2.0\times {10}^{-2}\mathrm{M}{\mathrm{AB}}_{2},2.0\times {10}^{-2}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{XY}\)
Explanation
For precipitation of AY₂:
Ksp = [A²⁺][Y⁻]² = 5.2 × 10⁻⁷
Check option C:
[A²⁺] = 2.0 × 10⁻²
[Y⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻²
Ion product = 8.0 × 10⁻⁶ > Ksp
⇒ Precipitation occurs
