    At \[{{25}^{o}}C\] the solubility of sparingly soluble binary salt \[AgCl\] is \[1.25\times {{10}^{-5}}\]mol/L. What will be the value of \[{{K}_{sp}}\] at the same temperature?

    A)  \[1.25\times {{10}^{-5}}\]           

    B)  \[1.56\times {{10}^{-10}}\]

    C)  \[1.\times {{10}^{-10}}\]                             

    D)  \[1.44\times {{10}^{-10}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Key Idea For a binary electrolyte                 \[{{K}_{sp}}={{s}^{2}}\] where s is solubility in mol/L \[{{K}_{sp}}\] is solubility product. \[AgCl\] is a binary electrolyte. Here,     \[s=1.25\times {{10}^{-5}}mol/L\] \[\therefore \]              \[{{K}_{sp}}={{(1.25\times {{10}^{-5}})}^{2}}\]                 \[=1.56\times {{10}^{-10}}\] Note - For a ternary electrolyte \[{{K}_{sp}}=4{{s}^{3}}\].
