    If the solubility products of \[AgCl\] and \[AgBr\] are \[1.0\times {{10}^{-8}}\,M\] and \[3.5\times {{10}^{-13}}\] respectively, then the relation between the solubilities (denoted by the symbol\['S'\]) of these salts can correctly be represented as [MP PET 1994]

    A)                 \[S\]of \[AgBr\]is less than that of \[AgCl\]

    B)                 \[S\]of \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}{{C}^{+}}\]is greater than that of \[AgCl\]

    C)                 \[{{10}^{-11}}M\]of \[BOH+{{H}^{+}}\] is equal to that of \[AgCl\]

    D)                 \[S\]of \[AgBr\] is \[{{10}^{6}}\] times greater than that of \[AgCl\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               AgCl \[{{K}_{sp}}=1.2\times {{10}^{-10}}\]                    \[S=\sqrt{1.2\times {{10}^{-10}}}\]; \[S=1.09\times {{10}^{-5}}\]                    AgBr \[{{K}_{sp}}=3.5\times {{10}^{-13}}\]                             \[S=\sqrt{3.5\times {{10}^{-13}}}\]\[=5.91\times {{10}^{-6}}\]                                 So that S of AgBr is less than that of AgCl.
