    The solubility in water of a sparingly soluble salt\[A{{B}_{2}}\]is\[1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}mol\text{ }{{L}^{-1}}\]. Its solubility product will be

    A) \[4\times {{10}^{-15}}\]               

    B) \[4\times {{10}^{-10}}\]

    C)  \[1\times {{10}^{-15}}\]              

    D) \[1\times {{10}^{-10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Let the solubility\[=x\] \[x=1.0\times {{10}^{-5}}mol\text{ }{{L}^{-1}}\] (given) \[A{{B}_{2}}\underset{x}{\mathop{{{A}^{2+}}}}\,+\underset{2x}{\mathop{2{{B}^{-}}}}\,\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=[{{A}^{2+}}]{{[{{B}^{-}}]}^{2}}\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=x\times {{(2x)}^{2}}\] \[=4{{x}^{3}}\] \[{{K}_{sp}}=4\times {{(1\times {{10}^{-5}})}^{3}}\] \[=4\times {{10}^{-15}}\]
